After receiving some feedback questioning some of the content of the previous broken link report for LibGuide pages, I went back to SpringShare and asked a few questions about what the report contained. I also asked them to modify the report to only include published pages, so that it wouldn’t be cluttered up with irrelevant information
They obviously found some problems with the report run on the 6th June and have sent me another one, run on a more recent data set, and only including published pages. So please could all authors of subject guides on LibGuides please check this new report, available from K:\information_services\LibGuides\2010-06-24-canterbury-LibGuides-CustomLinkChecker.htm.
There will still be some links reported as broken that are perfectly OK – always the case with link checking reports, but please double check them all just in case. There may be some hidden surprises even in links that appear to work (eg a link to the catalogue may open the catalogue but the intended search may be wrong).

After checking the other links in the previous report, and correcting a few that needed it, I checked all the links in the new report, and found everything worked fine.
