The information on this page gives tips on how to create accessible LibGuides. It contains best practices from the Guide to Accessible Web Design & Development on section508.gov. Use these best practices when designing your LibGuides to help you reach all users, including individuals with disabilities.
Provide a descriptive title for each page or screen.
Link Purpose
Avoid vague link text like "click here" and "read more". Avoid using the same link text for links that have different destinations.
Give links a descriptive name so users will know where the link will take them if selected.
Focus Order
If a web page can be navigated sequentially and the navigation sequences affect meaning or operation, focusable components receive focus in an order that preserves meaning and operability.
Flashing
Do not have content that flashes. It is unpleasant to view flashing content, and things like this can cause a serious reaction in some people (seizures, etc.).
