摘要
纵览针对残疾人的网站可访问性相关研究,理论文章多于实证调研,缺乏对顶尖大学图书馆网站的实证数据分析。为此文章选取美国8所常春藤盟校,研究其图书馆网站可访问性特点及相关政策是否符合美国1990年颁布的《美国残疾人法》(ADA),并通过WAVE和邮件问询进行调研评估。研究发现:虽然每个网站都有很好的可用性和可操作性,同时也均向残疾人提供了服务说明以及指向残疾服务的链接,特别是对视障者提供了屏幕阅读器等辅助技术以增强其可访性,但这些网站均有WAVE认定的6类准则违规缺陷中的一种或多种。最常见的问题为缺失文档语言(44%)、冗余链接(69%)、可疑链接(50%)、跳过导航标题(44%)等。
This study evaluates the websites of the US ’ Ivy League Schools for accessibility by users with disabilities to determine if they are compliant with accessibility standards established by the Americans with Disabilities Act （ADA）. By using the web accessibility evaluator WAVE and email survey, the author found that among selected sixteen web-sites in the eight universities, each site has good availability and operability, and all the libraries ’ websites offer services to people with disabilities and links to disability services, especially offer screen readers and other assistive technologies to enhance the access of people with visual impairment. However, errors are present at all the websites. The most com-mon problems are the lack of missing document language （44%）, redundant link （69%）, suspicious link （50%）, and skip navigation（44%）.
