D4D Accessibility Guide

Project's Purpose

To bring our LibGuides into digital accessibility compliance we will need each Guide, and all pages within that Guide, to meet a series of accessibility milestones explained in the Milestones section of this Guide. 

As LibGuide owners and editors you’re all a11y champions in the making!

Guide Contents:

• an overview of the project,
• important milestone dates,
• checklists,
• web accessibility support info,
• process for reporting your remediation accomplishments

Include supporting project documentation in the guide

• preferably as accessible formatted documents
• reduces the number of places people have to look to get a question answered to understand why they are having to work on the project

Communication

• Include key deadlines and communication schedules in the guide if those are available.
• You may want to use the a guide like this as a living document, but be sure to explain to your authors that you may be making updates.
  • Sending regular emails with any major guide changes, events, and accomplishments was useful to keep on track
    • Consider having a consistent email subject line so it will be easy for authors to tag, filter, and find your communications.
