[Athen] Book titles that are also hyperlinks

As to MS Word turning URLs into hyperlinks:
I think by default, MS Word does automatically turn URLs into hyperlinks, although you can change that in your settings.
Also, once it has turned something into a hyperlink, you can right-click to remove the hyperlink.

Looks like Google made that automatically clickable but in MS Word it will not.

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:

I would simply select the text of the title and make it a link. I don’t see any reason for marking it with a title style.

Subject: [Athen] Book titles that are also hyperlinks

In their syllabi, many of our faculty members want to turn their textbook titles into hyperlinks - to websites such as Amazon, where the students can buy the book.

We use MS Word documents for our syllabi. What’s the best way of making these book-title/hyperlinks accessible?

My best guess is to use MS Word’s Book Title style, and then make the text of the book title into a hyperlink.
For example, Disability Studies: An Interdisciplinary Introduction<https://www.amazon.com/Disability-Studies-Interdisciplinary-Introduction-Second/dp/1446280683/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1544639607&sr=8-1&keywords=Disability+Studies%3A+An+Interdisciplinary+Introduction>
Would a screen reader identify that as both a book title and a hyperlink?
Is there a better way to do it?

Thanks,
Chris
