Abstract This study, building upon previous research work at the College of Staten Island (CSI) library, attempts to evaluate the accessibility of select digital monograph platforms and file formats utilized at the City University of New York (CUNY). The usability of CSI library’s locally developed ER-ACT tool to assist librarians with limited technical knowledge to review VPATs and to perform simple testing was also evaluated with challenges and successes reported. It was determined that the use of color-coded results in this study can help identify serious accessibility issues within ebooks and to communicate the results within libraries to assist with collection development decision-making. The study also includes a review of new court rulings related to accessibility issues in higher education and discusses where accessibility staffing reports in terms of job roles and duties held by university professionals. The testing of the accessibility of library ebooks, with various accessibility tools, are reviewed within the context of Section 508 revisions and new VPAT standards.

使用 VPAT 和其他资源在史坦顿岛图书馆学院有效评估电子专着的可访问性 - CUNY

摘要 本研究以史坦顿岛学院 (CSI) 图书馆先前的研究工作为基础，试图评估纽约城市大学 (CUNY) 使用的精选数字专着平台和文件格式的可访问性。还评估了 CSI 图书馆本地开发的 ER-ACT 工具的可用性，以帮助技术知识有限的图书馆员审查 VPAT 并执行简单的测试，并报告了挑战和成功。确定在本研究中使用颜色编码的结果可以帮助识别电子书中严重的可访问性问题，并在图书馆内交流结果以协助馆藏开发决策。该研究还包括对与高等教育中的无障碍问题相关的新法院裁决的审查，并讨论了无障碍人员配置在大学专业人员担任的工作角色和职责方面的报告。在第 508 节修订版和新的 VPAT 标准的背景下，审查了使用各种辅助工具对图书馆电子书的可访问性进行的测试。
