Re: meta-data: Fwd: ADA accessibility and digital collections web sites

[Corey Harper <charper@darkwing.uoregon.edu>]

This is definitely a really good approach.

As JQ points out below, this is already part of the libweb template, and
it's been in place in our digital collections' sites as well.

I have noticed that some of our digcol pages, and some of the library
pages at large are missing the named anchor that the link jumps to.
My feeling is that the anchor should be right before the h1 title,
although in the template it's before the right-hand menu box.
Somehow it seems that it gets inadvertently deleted a lot of the
time.

I've been adding it back in as I edit some of our digcol pages.
