Text links and headings

When you link to a website or another document, use text which describes the target of the link for the link text. Screen readers read out the text in a link to tell the user where the link goes.

Avoid linking words like "Click here" or "read more".

Good Examples:

- - This is a link to GSA Library Help, where you can find up to date info about using Learning technology at GSA.
  - You can search the library catalogue via GSA Library's online catalogue.

Bad Examples:

- - This is a link to GSA's eLearning blog, where you can find up to date info about using Learning technology at GSA.
  - You can search the library catalogue by clicking here.

Ensure headings are meaningful. Screen reader software used by visually impaired students reads out the text in a heading and enables users to skip to the next heading if it is not what they are looking for.
