Repository Content Accessibility Toolkit

About this Toolkit

This toolkit is designed to support library staff, leadership, faculty, and other users of DSpace at state-funded institutions in meeting requirements set by the 2024 update by the U.S. Department of Justice to regulations for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It includes guidance on web accessibility laws and standards, definitions and best practices for designing accessible documents in various formats, and talking points for advocacy with library administration and others.
