Installing Links in the Project

If the resource actually satisfies Project guidelines, then staff do the following (in the WWW phase)

1. Ensure that the link file has been standardized so that:
   • the full name of the society appears first,
   • followed by an official initialism (or obvious one) in parentheses,
   • followed by the designation "Webpage" or "Gopher", as appropriate.
2. Ensure that, if necessary, an annotation follows the link file (e.g. "In Finnish", "their Newsletter only")
3. Copy the entire block of HTML code to the webpage file or gopher file as appropriate.
4. Copy it also to each appropriate subject file.
5. Use a browser to verify that the link information reads as it should.
6. And test the link, and, while doing that, check:
   • if a full-text archive of a newsletter or journal is maintained for the public; if so, get its URL and set up HTML code for its link and install it in the full-text archives file;
   • for the email address of the resource maintainer and put this information in the email contacts file.
   • for the founding date of the society and put this information in the chronology file
7. Use a browser to check the information in that last point (if applicable)
8. Update the statistics on the top-level page of the Project.
9. Update the statistics on the subjects_soc page.
