New Reader, in Q 4 – Accessibility overview Designing to meet W 3 C 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 3 rd 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 Q 4 2014 for use with the following screen readers: • JAWS for Windows • NVDA for Windows • Voice. Over for the Mac • Also are enabling patrons with accessibility needs, to turn on accessibility mode themselves (no librarian or tech support assistance needed!) in Q 4 • Their screen reader reads hidden tags that can toggle accessibility mode on/off Pro.
