2021 Conference » Discovery Accessibility Journey: the good, the bad and the ugly

Masniza Sore

7×7 presentation (10m)

The presentation is an account of the Discovery team’s accessibility audit journey during the lockdown to meet the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 deadline in September 2020. We have performed accessibility audits on 165 third-party online databases to ensure that our providers are compliant with the regulations. These audits included ease of navigation using keyboard, visual presentation of text and images of text and the availability of vendor’s accessibility statement. The presentation will also cover what have we learnt from our experience on how we have applied them to our daily activities.
