Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: $action.dateFormatter.formatDateTime($content.getLastModificationDate())

For specific patron-facing areas of Alexandria and certain styles, we partially comply with WCAG 2 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). All components of Researcher (except Search and Bulletins), Self-Service, Activity, and Offline Mode are accessibility-friendly.

Here are some notable guidelines we currently follow in every patron-facing area:

  • Offer keyboard-only access with a logical, cycle-back tabbing order
  • Offer several ways to find pages (URL, through Researcher or Tools, and Explore panes)
  • Use clear headings and labels
  • Offer a visible and clear keyboard focus
  • Use menus, icons, and buttons consistently
  • Suggest fixes when users make errors
  • Don't use images of text


Recommendations

To make Alexandria even more accessibility-friendly for your patrons, we suggest following these recommendations:

  • Use Scout rather than Search while in Researcher.

  • Use Chrome as your internet browser.

  • If you use Safari and need to turn on tabbing navigation, go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced and make sure Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage is checked.
