Guides appear on the landing page organized by "Subject", "Group", "Type", and "Owner". Add your guides to the first three tabs by assigning subjects, groups, and types, respectively.
Subjects and Subject GuidesAdd a guide to the "by Subject" tab by assigning a subject to it. (Delist it from the tab by removing the assigned subject.) Add as many subjects to a guide as you like at any time.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please add ONLY those subjects that already appear on the landing page to prevent proliferation of subjects.
TagsAdd "tags" to a guide to improve its search engine discoverability (note: adding tags doesn't impact the landing page). Add as many as you believe will help users find your guide(s).
Assets are saved/embedded links, books, documents, widgets, etc. we store in (and manage from) our assets library that you can add to your guides. When possible, we recommend using existing assets instead of creating new ones.
IMPORTANT NOTE: While adding Database Assets to your guide(s) is the same as adding other assets, Database Assets live in a different location and are managed separately by the Electronic Resources Unit (ERU).

2. Fix Accessibility IssuesFix each issue and retest (to verify it's been fixed)! Then, select a new page (tab) to test and repeat.
If you are logged out and prompted to log back in when retesting, you may accidentally scan the login page. No worries. Just log back in (from another tab if necessary) and continue to retest.
