Use acronyms and abbreviations only when necessary.

• Avoid if possible.
• First occurrence should spell it out with the acronym following it in parenthesis.
• Additional occurrences should use the abbreviation tag (<abbr>) if possible.
  • In LibGuides, toggle to the "Source" view in your editor. (If in the CMS, contact me for help.)
  • Find the acronym in the HTML.
  • Add an opening abbreviation tag before it, with a title attribute that spells out the full name.
  • Add a closing </abbr> tag at the end of the acronym

Example:

<abbr title="Grand Valley State University">GVSU</abbr>
