Make sure UCLA doesn't appear in google results for digital #559

Not sure how UCLA got in there, but probably not ideal.

It's somewhat hard to replicate those results, but I can find them using the following search:
https://www.google.com/search?q=library+emory+digital+contact&oq=library+emory+digital+contact&aqs=chrome..69i57j33.621j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

It appears to be specific to something related to the contact page (or that was on the contact page at some point). I can't find anything in the page source that should cause that. It might be worth having someone search Emory's Google Search Console for UCLA to see if anything shows up.

Although - I do notice that yellowbacks are referenced on UCLA's site here (search for Emory on the page), so it may be google trying to do something fancy: https://www.library.ucla.edu/special-collections/discover-collections/online-collections & https://www.library.ucla.edu/blog/special/2015/10/29/crowdsourcing-the-graphic-covers-of-victorian-crowdpleasers-event-was-a-real-crowd-pleaser

Sorry, I believe it was a search for "Emory Digital Collections" (quotes included). Emily used the google search console to request a reindex of that page and requested a cache clear.

Looks like it's been resolved.
