These required elements
are intended to make sites and pages on the Yale University Library web
more readily identifiable and easier for readers to navigate.
Requirements
1 through 4 and the recommendation can be achieved simply by adding a block
of text as a "footer" on each page. For example:
©
2001 Yale University Library
Yale University Library
Send comments to the Public
Interfaces Committee.

[By viewing the source
of this page you can see the code that will produce a new date every time
the page is changed.]
Requirement
5 can be achieved by using the <title></title> tag in the head
section of the html page and a suitable <h#></h#> in the body
section of the html page. For example:
For a page
about useful html resources for staff at Yale Library who are making
web pages, we used <html>
<head>
<title>HTML Resources for Yale Library WWW Developers</title>
</head>
<bodyY>
<h1>HTML Resources for Yale Library WWW Developers</h1>
. . .
</body>
<html>
Requirement
6 can be achieved by adding links that you see as appropriate to the context
of the page. For example:
[next page] and
[previous page]
for large documents that have been divided into several separate web pages
or
| Science Libraries
Home Page | NAVIGATOR Page | Main Library Front Door |
for documents that are logically or administratively part of a larger Yale
Library web site. In this case, the page explaining the Yale Science Libraries
Navigator interface is linked to the navigator page, the Science Libraries
Home Page, and the Library Front Door.
