A blind person using a screen reader is able to quickly scan a page for resource links, so keep in mind your links can be perceived out of context. Therefore:
- Most importantly, do not use Click here alone as link text.
- Link text should indicate the nature of the resource it is pointing to. Best practice: link text should duplicate the title of the resource.
- The exact same link text should not be used to link to two different resources on a page. Add text to indicate the difference (e.g. ERIC (EBSCO) vs. ERIC (ProQuest)).
- A list of links should be in a bulleted list structure, or separated by unlinked text (such as a comma). Lists of links formatted as paragraphs can confuse a screen reader.
Check the Libguides Link Checker frequently for broken links in your guides, or check individual pages using the W3C Link Checker
