AB From a user's perspective, hypertext links on the Web form a
   directed graph between distinct information sources. We
   investigate the effects of discovering 'backlinks' from Web
   resources, namely links pointing to the resource. We describe
   tools for backlink navigation on both the client and server
   side, using an applet for the client and a module for the
   Apache Web server. We also discuss possible extensions to the
   HTTP protocol to facilitate the collection and navigation of
   backlink information in the World Wide Web. (C) 1999 Published
