Accessibility

What Springshare has done with their code to make LibGuides accessible:

  • An alternate version of Springshare Help pages for screenreaders
  • Springshare standard pages have hidden links that can only be "seen" by those using adaptive technology
  • Made all the HTML output accessible-technologies friendly, e.g. using ALT tags, etc.

What we can do to make our guide content accessible:

  • Add a brief explanation about an image to your image ALT tag
  • Follow Springshare suggestions on how to avoid accessiblity issues when copying and pasting content into LibGuide content boxes.
  • If you use iframes (an iframe is used to display a web page within a web page) see the information on how to make iframes accessible.
  • Test your guide for accessibility by using the WAVE tool
