Best Practices for Accessibility

  • Make sure your linked text is descriptive, don’t hyperlink generic terms like “click here” as this doesn’t help someone using assistive technology to understand what the link is.
  • Also make sure to match your linked text to the content that is being opened. For example, if your linked text says “Databases & More” then the page that is opening should be titled Databases & More, and not Research.
  • Current practice is NOT to open any link in a new tab or window, even if the link is external. You may wish to add (external link) to the text if this is unexpected.
