[WEB4LIB] How to link to a site

[phgray at tccd.net]

Since it is possible to design a page so that you pretty much HAVE to go
through another page to get there.
I would say if you can access the page by simply typing the url the author
of that page has given implied consent for you to do so.
Unless of course they have a statement to the contrary.

And YES - from the patron's point of view linking directly to the desired
info is almost always the preferred option

Opinions are my own and I am NOT a lawyer --
