Max Chambers Library is committed to following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, to ensure its digital content is ADA compliant. The library's Web Developer is expected to obtain the Digital Accessibility micro-credential offered by the Center for eLearning and Connected Environments (CeCE). These basic criteria should be met on all library webpages (see WCAG for more details):
Pages follow logical heading and navigation structure.
The title of each LibGuide is level 1, so any headings used on a guide page should begin with level 2.
Pages are navigable by keyboard-only users.
Tables include headers.
Links are descriptive of their destination or purpose.
Links stand out from other text by being underlined.
Links open in the same window, unless they are on a web form or a page requiring authentication (such as databases and e-resources).
This office on campus helps students with accommodations and coordinates auxiliary aids for courses and other campus experiences.

Color Contrast
To meet WCAG AA standards, the contrast ratio for text must be at least 4.5:1. Large text must have a ratio of 3:1. To accommodate for color blindness, avoid using color alone to convey information in graphics and charts.
