[Athen] Book titles that are also hyperlinks

[Samantha Johns]

Hello,

I would suggest only hyperlinking to the a descriptive link of the title of
the book, as you like APA etc.
and for print purposes include the hyperlink text but do not make it
clickable.

See example:

Fundamentals of Financial Accounting W/ Connect Plus, Phillips, Libby &
Libby, 5th edition
<https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Financial-Accounting-Associate-Professor/dp/0078025915>


ISBN:  9781259721908,
https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Financial-Accounting-Associate-Professor/dp/0078025915



Warm Regards,

“The one argument for accessibility that doesn’t get made nearly often
enough is how extraordinarily better it makes some people’s lives. How many
opportunities do we have to dramatically improve people’s lives just by
doing our job a little better?”  ― Steve Krug
