Agenda: This is a working session so folks can share their knowledge about accessibility testing and help others learn.
- Focus on the homepage and one other page
- Use one or more of the tools listed above and walk through the results
- Assign other pages of the site amongst the group so they can audit them based on learnings
Meeting minutes:
- What are some key drivers for improving digital accessibility?
- Universities even if they're private but receive NSF funding and/or have public collections can be succeptible to lawsuits
- Libraries need to fulfill the primary mission of making resources accessible for all
- We discussed about the concept of 'Universal Design' vs 'Accessiblity'
- In the current state we are treating accessibility as post design activity
- (Wishful thinking here) In ideal state accessibility concerns can be mitigated to a larger extent by universal design
- Analogy: To get to a floor, most buildings have stairs and a ramp, universal design could mean having one low gradient ramp for all
- We used 2 tools to evaluate the Nurax homepage
