Description:

MLA's Web Accessibility Report launched on 12 April 2005 is based on an audit of the accessibility of 300 museum, library and archive websites. The research undertaken by City University shows that the level of accessibility of museum, library and archive websites is not high. Less than half the sites met basic technical accessibility guidelines and a User Panel of disabled people did not find them easy to use.
