Q4 – Accessibility overview
Designing to meet W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0)
• Following these guidelines will make web content accessible to a wide range of people with disabilities, particularly the blind/visually impaired. We are:
• targeting a AA conformance level to accessibility guidelines for the Reader features and functions (excluding ebook content, formatted as publisher has provided)
• working with a 3rd party company that specializes in accessibility to ensure conformance, Tech for All (www.tfaconsulting.com).
• They’ve reviewed & approved our strategy for the User Interface/tech design
• certifying our new Reader in Q4 2014 for use with the following screen readers:• JAWS for Windows• NVDA for Windows• VoiceOver for the Mac
• Also are enabling patrons with accessibility needs, to turn on accessibility mode themselves (no librarian or tech support assistance needed!) in Q4
• Their screen reader reads hidden tags that can toggle accessibility mode on/off
