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

Use this technique to locate links to a page:
- The advanced operator link: retrieves all the pages in the database that contain a link to the page in question.
- For example, link:http://21cif.imsa.edu/ retrieves all the pages that link to the Information Fluency home page.
- Google, Yahoo! and similar search engines may provide a copy-paste shortcut in Advanced Search (pages that link to).
- 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:
- Different browers offer variations on this command. In Firefox, Tools > Page Info > Links retrieves the list of all the links on the page.
