To help achieve our objective of excellence in research, scholarship and education, and as part of our commitment to serving our customers and users, Oxford University Press is striving to make its products inclusive for everyone, including those with visual, hearing, cognitive, or motor impairments.
In line with these goals, we follow the general principles of web usability and universal design and, where feasible, endeavour to make Kerboodle accessible to all regardless of physical or cognitive impairment. To help our users take full advantage of the accessibility features provided by their chosen device, operating system, web browser and assistive technologies, we are targeting conformance with level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2.
A programme of improvement
We are making ongoing improvements and have a committed investment and development programme to deliver improved accessibility compliance over the coming months and beyond. This programme is based on a cycle of specialist accessibility testing – including the use of a range of assistive technologies – followed by scheduled development to implement fixes and enhancements. We test with recent versions of JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack screen readers, as well as with voice control and screen magnification software.
