NYU LibGuide Accessibility

Describe your Guide and your pages within a Guide!

Are your Guide and page titles and descriptions unique and clear? Do you have accurate and helpful metadata? 

• Descriptions give users an idea if the Guide might help them with their research. 
• It also improves search engine optimization (SEO) and discoverability. 
• Keep descriptions concise, no more than a couple of sentences.
