the archives link is at the bottom of the page and from that you get this
same worthless( no book info ) data for previous years or as much as
was entered.

I believe ya, I do believe ya.

if there is no entry point but instead, instructors email or somehow post
the site links, the bots just aren't going to get to it. And if it was linked
off
the main page or one with a tree back to root but then it gets trimmed,
it's only going to show up in some archive if somebody put a link on their
homepages and it was scanned or it was once scanned while available.

Why something once listed by the search engine is now totally gone
is probably a question for google or the search engine missing the data.
Lost server, new algorithms, google hates you, black ops, the dog ate it
are all possible.
