Synopsis

Library Technology reports v.48 no.7 "Making Libraries Accessible: Adaptive Design and Assistive Technology" informs readers about how to make libraries' digital content, computers, and other devices accessible to people with disabilities. The report presents an overview of demographics, regulations, and types of disability needs as well as associated assistive technology. It also lists and compares specific assistive technology products and assesses accessibility for library collections, including various e-book file formats, e-readers, and databases. Drawing from W3C's Web Accessibility Guidelines, the report advises on development and design principles for an accessible website.
