How is your library addressing the FLA 2021 theme on leading inclusively?

Inclusivity can mean anything from appropriate reading lists and engaging with your community, to ensuring your catalog, website, and mobile app are accessible to all audiences.

What does accessibility in your catalog look like?

  • Text Equivalents — Making images accessible to people who use screen readers and other assistive technology by using appropriate alternative text. 

  • Site Structure — Using the appropriate headings.

  • Keyboard Access — Improving keyboard access for non-mouse input devices.

  • Magnification — Ensuring that the main workflows can be used by people with screen magnifiers. 

  • Color Contrast — Ensuring that color use on the websites does not compromise text legibility.

BiblioCommons has invested heavily in accessibility compliance that is tailored for library-websites and uses the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to guide development.
