本文报告了来自100个美国学术和公共图书馆网站的链接模式，这些链接涉及原始和目标URL域类别。根据藏书规模将图书馆分为大小两类，结果发现，图书馆的链接数量与其规模成正比，但公共图书馆，尤其是规模较小的图书馆，提供的链接数量相对较少。公共图书馆的链接和吸引的链接主要来自。com和。org域名和美国地区网站，而学术图书馆的链接则涉及到各种域名，包括。edu、。com、。org和一些海外网站。大学图书馆也主要从。edu和。com网站获取链接。结果显示，美国公共图书馆和美国大学之间的互动很少，这引起了人们对两种组织之间更多合作的关注。
This article reports on patterns of links from and to the Web sites of 100 U.S. academic and public libraries with regard to the originating and targeted URL domain categories. Libraries, grouped into small and large by their collection size, were found to have numbers of inlinks proportional to their size, but public libraries, and particularly the smaller ones, hosted relatively fewer outlinks. While public libraries link largely to and attract links mainly from the .com and .org domains and U.S. regional sites, academic libraries link to a variety of domains, including .edu, .com, .org, and some overseas sites. Academic libraries also draw inlinks mainly from .edu and .com sites. The results reveal that there is little interaction between public libraries in the United States and U.S. universities, and this calls attention to the need for more collaboration between the two types of organizations.
