Hello Everyone, I was recently talking with officials at the Multnomah County Library in Portland, Oregon and learned that they are soon going too be using a graphical (web-based) library catalog system called Webpacs. Apparently it comes from the vendor of their existing catalog system. The person I was talking with gave me URLs of some other libraries that are already using this system. From my preliminary explorations it would appear that Webpacs is both a Java application and virtually inaccessible to screen readers. Does anyone know if the accessibility option is correct and if so anything about efforts to address it? Below are the examples the person I spoke with provided to me.
