Find Links

Techniques to locate links

Here are examples of pages where it is important to find links:

• Golf Cross

• The First Male Pregnancy

• Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus

Use this technique to locate links to a page:

1. The advanced operator link: retrieves all the pages in the database that contain a link to the page in question.
3. For example, link:http://21cif.imsa.edu/ retrieves all the pages that link to the Information Fluency home page.
5. Google, Yahoo! and similar search engines provide a copy-paste shortcut in Advanced Search (pages that link to).
7. Note: there must be no space after link: otherwise the query becomes a search for link AND whatever url was pasted in.

Use this technique to locate links from a page:

1. Different browers offer variations on this command. In Firefox, Tools > Page Info > Links retrieves the list of all the links on the page.
