Following the Yellow
Brick Road to Simplified Link Management Are you overwhelmed by the number of links that
you need to maintain? Wish you could just click your
heels together three times and then never have to
update them again? The Web manager at this law library

how they decided on the format, functionality, hardware,
and software for what became the Southern Oregon
Digital Archives (SODA). By Jim Rible
