[WEB4LIB] Finding links to specific pages

[Mike Novak]

Bernie,

Both Google and AltaVista (am I the only one who still types
www.altavista.digital.com :) ) support the search syntax link:<url>, so
entering
link:http://www.lis.uiuc.edu/~b-sloan/ready4ref.htm should work (although it
doesn't return any hits... yet).

GSLIS class of '00,

Mike Novak
