Abstract There are a few studies in library literature that explore accessibility issues from the perspective of students who use assistive technologies for accessibility. As we shared in part one of this two-part series in our column, librarians have extensively explored through usability studies with WAVE and other audit tools how accessible library websites and databases are when using assistive technologies like JAWS. In this column, we asked our blind student worker to journal his experiences navigating our library’s databases. We found this student navigated the databases better than we anticipated. While his experiences regarding the accessibility of the libraries’ electronic services varied, common issues he experienced included navigational issues from menus with expanding capabilities, documents that were not scanned with OCR, and images without alternative text.

当您不是可访问性专家时评估库工具和服务的可访问性：第 2 部分

摘要 图书馆文献中有一些研究从使用辅助技术进行无障碍访问的学生的角度探讨无障碍问题。正如我们在专栏中这个由两部分组成的系列的第一部分中所分享的那样，图书馆员通过 WAVE 和其他审计工具的可用性研究广泛探索了在使用 JAWS 等辅助技术时图书馆网站和数据库的可访问性。在本专栏中，我们请盲人学生工作人员记录他浏览图书馆数据库的经历。我们发现该学生比我们预期的更好地浏览了数据库。虽然他在图书馆电子服务的可访问性方面的经验各不相同，但他遇到的常见问题包括具有扩展功能的菜单的导航问题、未使用 OCR 扫描的文档、
