Assessing the Accessibility Compliance of US Libraries on the Web

6 Survey Results and Discussion Following the analysis and results of the previous section, the survey began to reveal which answers can clarify the problem posed by the current LibWeb accessibility status. Neither FAE nor WAVE has been verified as an independent measurement tool for evaluating LibWeb's accessibility compliance. The former average score (5.88) is stricter than the latter, with an average score of 6.50. For example, it is not uncommon for the WAVE tool to incorrectly display the "data table" rule in FAE navigation and placement categories and the nested "structure table" in FAE style categories.

Before going into more detail, it is important to understand the steps necessary for accessibility and compliance. First of all, all the rules and guidelines that make up the accessibility standard are called Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). As a product of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), these guidelines establish best practices to follow as designers and developers. It is also important to follow the complete WCAG list when building your own website or web application. The list of this major accessibility item is sorted by priority. Depending on the project, target audience, and legal requirements, certain accessibility priorities must be met.

When mentioning ADA compliance for many web developers, blank attention may be paid. First of all, look for an agent that uses the web platform and framework you are using to ask how the development workflow deals with accessibility issues. Most platforms have partner directories. From there you can begin to check the agent's actual web access experience. For example, if you have an e-commerce site, you usually need to select an agency that specializes for that platform (for example, Bigcommerce, Magento, Wordpress etc). You also need to target agents using a variety of tools (such as Siteimprove and Criterion) to evaluate Web site accessibility.
