Accessibility Assembly
“to facilitate communication among ALA units,”…
2010
Emerging Leaders, Group K
"Team K will develop a usability test and a logging method so that members or others who access the website using assistive devices can participate in the study. In addition, the team will recruit participants to run through the tasks at home or work using the devices they are familiar with, have them log their results, and review and evaluate the surveys. Ideally, we would also have an in-person meeting of as many participants as possible at the 2010 Annual Conference and invite the ASCLA Accessibility Assembly and the division web leads so that we can talk about the results together."
