Based on a post (ws-dl.blogspot.com/2025/08/2025...) by @phonedudemln.bsky.social about the goo.gl link shortner going away, I was curious about UNT ETDs using the shortner.

In reference lists it looks like only 7 ETDs with a total of 74 shortened URLs could be affected.

I found this in a 2004 ETD here at UNT. I thought this was an interesting way of trying to incorporate the web into their document.

Note: Where websites are used as sources, the citation gives the name of the organization, the website address for the organization’s home page, and the links followed to the pages where specific information may be found. For example, Energy Star Program - www.energystar.gov : Home > Products > Appliances > Dishwashers, means that the information can be found by going to the Energy Star website at www.energystar.gov , clicking on "Products", then on "Appliances", and finally on "Dishwashers".
