Overview
When creating links, keep in mind how the link will be displayed in the print versions of the catalog. Links such as ...in Biology, click here, etc., should not be used since you cannot click in the print version of the PDF. Instead, consider rephrasing your link to say something like ...in Biology, refer to Biological Sciences. This will be clearer in the different contexts of the catalog.
When the PDF is generated, links outside the catalog will appear in parentheses after the linked text. Links in the catalog will display the page number for that link, or the web link to that page will appear in parentheses.
