Web Guidelines: MIT LibrariesShortcut URLsAlways use our shortcut URLs instead of the actual URL whenever you make a link to one of these pages (or when you refer to the page in a printed brochure, poster, or hand-out). You will never have to update the link -- we will keep them up to date behind the scenes. General shortcuts (public list)The following list of general shortcuts covers most of the primary pages that people will want to link to. We have made this list available to the public (such as webmasters of other departments at MIT), so that they won't need to update their links when we move a page. Vera database shortcuts ("get URLs" and "info URLs")1. There is a "get URL" for each database in Vera.
For example, Use these to link to databases from other pages on our web site, including LibGuides pages. 2. As of summer 2008, we also have "info URLs" for each database in Vera. These link to the complete metadata about each database in our A-Z list, for example: Database info links - how to create - instructions for how to create an info link Info URLs for Vera databases - the list of what they are Barton shortcutsUse these to link to specific search screens in barton. Basic
Search Screen: http://libraries.mit.edu/barton Other shortcuts (behind-the-scenes)We have other shortcut URLs that we have preserved from the past, so that they will always work, such as: http://libraries.mit.edu/databases ...which now points to the same place as: There are also special shortcuts for each queue into the "Ask Us! live" service. The Web Manager has details about these if you need to know.
If you
know of other pages that could use a shortcut, email Marion Leeds Carroll. (mlcar@mit.edu)
