Accessibility

We are committed to providing all our users with a fully accessible experience for research, teaching and learning across all our products, platforms and websites. Accessibility of our platforms and content is an ongoing effort and we’re committed to working with the wider accessibility community to ensure we continue to meet our customers’ needs. 

To guide us in our efforts we use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 . These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone. 

What are we doing?

We embed these guidelines into our development process to ensure that new features and functionality are compliant and our content must meet a set of acceptance criteria which includes accessibility checks. We also work with external auditors to ensure that we meet this criteria. We use automated tools to check our web pages for common issues and our quality assurance team follow up on any accessibility problems that are detected during the development stage.

We also use feedback tools on our website to learn how we can serve our users’ needs and identify any gaps in our service.

How we’re making our website accessible: 

  • Change colours, contrast levels and fonts by adjusting browser settings
  • Navigate all of the website using just a keyboard
  • Listen to most of the website using a screen reader (e.g. the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
  • Skip directly to main content
How we’re making our eReader accessible:
  • Text to speech functionality, enabling you to listen to your textbooks
  • Most of our eTextbooks are fully reflowable and the text size can be changed
