Web Pages

The Home Page

The home page or main page is usually the entry point which serves as a link to all other Web pages within your Web site/section. This page typically serves as an index and should contain the following information:

  • Contact information including the name of the unit, mailing address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address (*)

  • A link to the main SLA home page (http://www.sla.org) (*)

  • Copyright information (refer to the Footers section) (*)

  • Table of contents or list of topics that directs users to subsequent Web pages

  • A link to a search tool if the Web site is large or complex. If you wish to have the contents of your Web pages indexed with the main SLA Web pages or to include a link to the search tool on the SLA main page, contact the Webmaster at webmaster@sla.org.

  • A link to a "What's New" Web page

  • The page URL or Web address

Other Web Pages

  • A link to the main SLA home page (http://www.sla.org) (*)

  • Copyright information (see Footers section under Page Layout) (*)

  • Date that the Web page was last updated (the date should be presented in the August 12, 1996 format as opposed to 8/12/96, which would be interpreted as December 8, 1996 in Europe) (*)
