ALA testing their website accessibility

By Mary Engels | February 16th, 2010 | 1 Comment

From ALA:

We are seeking volunteers to take part in a usability study examining the
accessibility of the American Library Association (ALA) website for
individuals using assistive devices. The ideal participant would be a member
of ALA who requires an assistive device to access the Internet. However, any
individual who uses an assistive device is eligible to participate.
Participants will be able to take the test at their own locations, and on
their own devices. The study will run during March, April and May of 2010.
The results of the study will contribute to a report that will lead to
improvements in accessibility of ALA’s website.

If you are interested in participating in this usability study, or can
assist us in recruiting suitable participants, please email us at
accessibilitytesting@ala.org. Feel free to forward this message to any
individual or group whose members might be interested in participation.

Thank you,

Chelle Batchelor, University of Washington Libraries
Lisa Chow, Brooklyn Public Library
Cynthia Matthias, Hennepin County Library
Jennifer Rutner, Columbia University Libraries
