Library Catalogue (Koha)
Koha has been tested and is accessible to level WCAG 2.1 AA standard; it is also compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act and meets web site accessibility to the W3C AA standard. Koha has a JavaScript dialect compliant with ECMAScript 262 edition 5.1. It is compliant with W3C AA, with PECR 2011 and with the ICO’s requirement in regard to cookies.
Koha uses CSS 1/2 Style Sheets in preference to HTML formatting.
Koha supports keyboard-only navigation.
Font size, text and background colours can be changed in order to improve accessibility.
Koha is an open source Library Management System (LMS) and, as such, the Koha community has a key role in ensuring that accessibility is built into future developments. The development team includes a Web Accessibility Advocate and the Koha community Quality Assurance process also includes accessibility as a pass/fail test when adding new code to the software.
Please contact us if you have any questions about the accessibility of the Library Catalogue or if you would like to suggest future developments, e.g. a revised colour scheme.
