Thoughts

It seems difficult to use the bibliography to find a citation you're interested in, then go back to the full-text page to find it.
- Could we simply place any full-text links directly in the main bibliography, and not need the full-text resources page? Or do they not overlap enough?
  - Links to the full text are included in the bibliography - when available. Of course, most of these are included only in the ACIR Reports section of the bibliography.
- Is it good instead to keep all of them in one place, so that anyone researching the topic remotely knows exactly how much they'll be able to access?
Are the ACIR pdfs moving over to UNT Digital Collections, or getting own system like CRS?
It is too many locations to have ACIR site in CC Collection, ACIR pdfs in Digital Collections, and ACIR bibliography in GovDocs main content pages (on CMS)?
- The ACIR pdfs will be going away once the files are up on the Digital Library System (in the Government Documents collection).
How much traffic do we get on each of these pages (guess-timate?)
If we're going to leave the main ACIR page as-is, then does anything (besides the above) need to be done with this?
But does a bibliography belong in the CyberCemetery, which is an archive of websites?
- Could instead host bibliography on one of our main content pages (maybe on the subject page under "Government?"). Then link it to the CC ACIR website.
- problems: many documents associated with bibliography (pdfs)
  - That sounds like a good idea to me - maybe the change could be made at the same time as the url update?
