Think Accessible Before You Buy
The Accessibility for Electronic Media Ad Hoc Committee is pleased to present the first edition of "Think Accessible Before You Buy: Questions to Ask to Ensure that the Electronic Resources Your Library Plans to Purchase are Accessible. This guide has been compiled to help library service staff "think accessible" as they consider purchasing computer based electronic resources or internet services, and to advocate and promote equality of access for library patrons and staff with disabilities. The guide includes a glossary of commonly used terms associated with electronic resources and accessibility, as well as user friendly questions, considerations, examples, and checklists to help library staff evaluate if computer based electronic resources or internet services are accessible for people with disabilities.
