ProQuest® Ebook Central has enhanced its accessibility support to make content, including scholarly ebooks, easier to read and navigate, ensuring all researchers have equal access to its interface and content regardless of challenges, such as visual impairment.
Developed in collaboration with specialists and designed for AA conformance level to W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0), Ebook Central promotes simplified access to all users with features such as: formatted book content to be readable online and offline; certified for use with major screen readers (JAWS and VoiceOver); browser magnification increasing the entire screen to make the content more visible; keyboard navigation so that pages can be negotiated without the use of a mouse.
Patrons are empowered to turn on this functionality themselves with their screen reader - no librarian or tech support is needed - ensuring that students and researchers have convenient access to the tools they need for success, any time, and anywhere.
With increasing legal mandates for accessibility in countries including the US, Canada, the UK, and the European Union, ProQuest simplifies compliance with innovative functionality built directly into its platforms. Patrons are empowered to turn on this functionality themselves with their screen reader - no librarian or tech support is needed - ensuring that students and researchers have convenient access to the tools they need for success, any time, and anywhere.
