Web Standards & Online Resources

The OCC Libraries strives to meet WCAG 2.0 level AA standards across our website.

Many of the online resources we provide through third-party vendors include a variety of accessibility features, such as:

• Providing options for print content. Articles may often be available in text format or accessible PDF. E-books may be available in PDF or EPUB formats.
• Some vendors include Readspeaker text-to-speech capability.
• Closed captioning and interactive text scripts are available for most streaming videos.

While we make every effort to ensure all of our online resources are accessible, some resources offered through third-party vendors may not be fully up to standards. Our third-party vendors are reviewed for their level of accessibility before and after purchase. In cases where online resources are not fully accessible we will work with the vendors to make corrections. If you should find any of our resources to not need your accessibility needs, please contact us through our Ask a Librarian service so we can attempt to provide reasonable accommodations.
