Secondary URLs

Definition: Any alternative location of the resource. (FAILTE)
Obligation: Optional
Type of element: Free text

Entry guidelines

Any alternative URLs for a resource will be recorded for this element. These might be discovered when a cataloguer attempts to create a new resource with an almost identical URL to one already catalogued, which the database will notice and inform the cataloguer of.

Where the Secondary URL is for a mirror site of the resource, this should be described. For example, for the NTNU Virtual Physics Laboratory at http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/java/index.html the Secondary URL would be expressed thus: http://www.abdn.ac.uk/physics/ntnujava/index.html - Scottish mirror site

Where there is more than one Secondary URL for a resource, these should be recorded on two separate lines, as with the Alternative Titles. For example:
"http://www.failte.ac.uk/
http://failte.ac.uk/"
