This happens a lot to me--I find something great on the internet and then the URL changes, or has changed before I can even look at it! Sometimes I can figure out where it has been moved. Thankfully Cyndi Ingle (from Cyndi's List!) demonstrates some strategies around this common problem in "The Case of the Broken Link: Decoding the URL":
Web site addresses appear to be long, complicated, and mysterious. Navigating through the web leads you from link to link, web page to web page, site to site, and server to server all in a matter of a few clicks. How can you sort out separate web sites? How can you track down a new URL for a broken link or a broken bookmark? What happens when your source citation for a web site contains a URL that suddenly disappears? We will break down this technical topic to help you easily hunt down the URL you need.
