Page Comparison

...

• 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:

1. 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
     
     
2. 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 
     
     
3. We used 2 tools to evaluate the Nurax homepage
   1. HTML code sniffer - This tool can detect issues in your site by simply clicking on the bookmarked link while you're on the page being tested
      1. Visit the HTML code sniffer website and drag this link to your bookmarks bar

      3. Toggle through the errors/warnings and view the report to walk through the report
         b. Chrome extension for WAVE tool - WAVE does a similar analysis as the html code sniffer alongwith an outline of the page structure
   
   
4. Action items:
   1. Harsh Parekh: Updated the testing spreadsheet for Hyrax v2.0.0.rc1 to identify list of pages that need to be audited  (A_1.1 through A_1.7, we can add more as needed)
   2. Harsh Parekh: Updated the sign up sheet to test accessibility scenarios
   3. Members of UXIG: Use the tools explained above to test for accessibility
   4. Report issues at https://github.com/curationexperts/nurax/issues
