Dead citation

This citation is a dead link:

http://catalogue.flinders.edu.au/reserve/vr/20110800710.pdf

It appears that the site has changed its structure (going to catalogue.flinders.edu.au brings up a redirect page), and the article is now found here:

http://flinders-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?doc=FUL_ALMA2145978660001771

I can't seem to find the PDF Any advice here?

The direct link to the PDF doesn't appear to be dead, just restricted. I've not been able to find a free version. In the meantime I've added the subscription parameter to the citation. The second link you posted leads me to an error page. Ibadibam ( talk) 00:25, 29 May 2014 (UTC) reply
Hi, I have the following comments. Firstly,the 'restricted link' is probably reading material for one of the topics offered either for undergraduate or post-graduate studies in maritime archaeology at Flinders University in South Australia. Secondly, after looking at the citation on the bottom of 'sheet 7 of 20' in [1], I think the citation may not be entirely correct; I think author’s first initial is probably not ‘B” but ‘G’. ‘G’ is for ‘ Geoffrey Bolton’ who is mentioned in the article. Thirdly, does the article need the link?. Regards Cowdy001 ( talk) 05:43, 29 May 2014 (UTC) reply
Yes, you're right: it's "G", not "B". There's a more full citation at the top of this list that confirms this. I've made the change. As far as including the link, my sense is that a restricted link is better than no link at all. Ibadibam ( talk) 19:32, 29 May 2014 (UTC) reply
It looks like that was a dynamic link, so it must've expired. Anyhow, thanks for tagging the citation- I'm still figuring all this stuff out!-- Etherealflux ( talk) 19:09, 29 May 2014 (UTC) reply
