KYVL ADA
Workgroup - Meeting Minutes
Meeting: KYVL ADA Workgroup Committee
Absent: Blenda Fields, Sara King, Tanzi Merritt,
Michael Providenti, Bobbie Beth Scoggins, Angel Smith
1 - Pass through pages. After selecting Find Books, Articles and More, user selects one
of the buttons for a native interface search and is presented with a page
"You are about to leave KYVL..."
This page is necessary. Depending on the native button selected, data is being passed to
the database vendors to tell the vendor what group the user is coming from and
where the search statistics should go.
Can we make the language more friendly?
2 - Most used KYVL pages. We can look at these to help Tanzi determine the access keys for
kyvl.org.
Bryce wants the URL. Ask Dave Block at UK > Can we export logs
to CSV/Excel?
3 - Edits to accessibility statement. Somebody needs to take charge of these. Bryce/Tanzi/Michael are the
subcommittee. Who needs to pick up the
ball and do the edits?
4 - Tentative plan of attack for kyvl.org
conversion: do default and no
styles. Complete over the next month. Waiting on IT to hear definite time.
5 - Feedback on Kids' Portal. Any word on this? Blenda/Diane? [Need to
send a message to the LMS listserv if that hasn't happened yet].
Move footer around and
enlarge.
6 - PDF's on the KYVL site. How many are there? Can
we do an accessibility conversion from within Acrobat? Anybody know? Who can take this on and do the research?
Jenny
& Lesley > will check into Acro 6 accessibility. What you need > Tanzi will email Jenny and Lesley links to some of the pdf’s on
the KYVL site.
Offer
alternate formats of docs for download orig/html/pdf.
7 - ADA workshop for libraries. Norb Ryan is very interested in this,
especially from the aspect of pub libs and physical accessibility. Can we help coordinate an all-day workshop
on websites, assistive technology, physical barriers, etc.?
Possible speakers:
Norb Ryan
Steve Noble
Preston Lewis
Linnie Lee – assistive tech
Michael Providenti -
websites
Barney
Fleming per Carla – interactive cd of assistive tech. Can we get a copy?
Cathy
Johnson – Kentucky School for the Blind [KSB]
Jay
Karns – UK Disability Services
Susan
Fog
Andy Hicks – Hix Technology
8 - Lesley and usability research. She volunteered to do this if no one
did. Think we need to pair Leslie with someone
else and have actually 2 or 3 people looking into this. I have some research but other folks need to
help with this.
9 - Template.
Bryce?
10 - Browse Aloud. Would like to
purchase this for our site. Makes the
pages self-voicing.
How
would Browse Aloud work with Kids’ Portal?
Self-voicing – screen readers vs. text readers. Work very differently.
Bryce
send Linnie some kids’ pages and she’ll get text help to index.
