Accessibility Statement for Project Outcome for Academic Libraries

This is an accessibility statement from the Association of College and Research Libraries. 

Conformance Status 

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Project Outcome for Academic Libraries is partially conformant with WCAG 2.0 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. 

 

Project Outcome staff work with our partner, Community Attributes Inc., to make regular improvements to ensure that the toolkit is technically accessible to both library users and survey participants.  

 

 While these types of technical improvements can benefit many accessibility needs, many of the improvements were chosen to make the Project Outcome surveys and toolkit easier to use with a screen reader.  

 

Some examples of accessibility considerations include: 

  • Images, buttons and other graphics include appropriate alternative text. 
  • Text will be readable and functional when zoomed up to 200%. 
  • All page functionality is available using the keyboard. 
  • HTML pages have proper structural elements controlled with stylesheets. 

  • Indicators have been added to make it visually apparent which page element has the current focus. 

 

Additional accessibility considerations 

  • Surveys are available in multiple languages: English, Spanish, French, and Arabic. 
  • Colors used in the data dashboards were selected to be color-blind friendly. 
  • Surveys are mobile friendly.
