Agreed. They are very quick, and happy to make the changes. I've also submitted requests to get a PURL made for links that are either simply PDFs or direct link - sometimes up to 10 at a time. They are always done in a timely manner.

Mark,

I recently reported a bad PURL to AskGPO:

http://gpo.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/gpo.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php

The PURL was corrected and I got an email notification within about 15 minutes. I was impressed.

We have come across a PURL, http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS66801, which is going to a .org site when it should be .gov . Who maintains PURLs and how do I ask them to fix it?

Goes to: http://www.ncjrs.org/pdffiles1/nij/205521.pdf

Should go to : http://www.ncjrs.GOV/pdffiles1/nij/205521.pdf

Thanks!
