Abstract
This study's aim was to carry out a comparative analysis of hyperlink connectivity between higher education and research sites within two European countries. This is analogous to citation analysis but Website interlinking is often less formal and largely unregulated. A categorization of both Ireland's and Croatia's educational and research domains and sub-domains served as input to a customized Web crawler to compute relevant connectivity measures. Trends and differences in both countries' interconnections were observed.
