Accessibility for all
I logged on to Birmingham University's e-journals directory this morning to find a big bold link to 'ADA compliant version'. Being a bit overdue with a trip to the opticians for some new lenses (and having had maybe just one too many single malts last night), I decided that perhaps something in large print and with a simpler layout than the default navigation page for this site would be easier on my eyes, and I was right. The ADA version gave me a quick A-Z navigation page and a nice big box that said "Journal title". Just what I needed. I don't think I'll be using the standard version again until I really need all the fancy options it gives me, and I don't think that will be any time soon. Accessibility for all is a good thing.
