Resource: Digital Library Accessibility and Usability Guidelines (DLAUG) (https://sites.uwm.edu/guidelines/) DLAUG is a set of accessibility and usability guidelines created for digital library (DL) developers to support blind and visually impaired (BVI) users seeking to engage with DLs.
The IMLS-funded project "was developed based on the types of help-seeking situations identified by several BVI user studies that investigated BVI users’ interactions with existing DLs; it was further enhanced based on feedback from key stakeholders of DLs, including users, scholars/experts, and developers. The DLAUG is organized by help-seeking situations based on the frequency of occurrences of the situations and their impact on BVI users’ information search process." A complete set of guidelines with associated appendices in PDF file format may be downloaded here.
