            Bug ID: 33809
           Summary: Accessibility: OPAC results page needs more
                    descriptive links
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha

A report by the Shaw trust for the British Museum's installation of Koha has
identified some links in the OPAC results that are not descriptive enough for
screen reader users. Extract below: 

"The text of a link should describe the destination of the link and the link’s
purpose. Providing a
descriptive link text will allow users to easily determine the function of the
link and make educated
decisions to click the link or not.
If it is not possible to identify the purpose of the link from the link text
itself, then this information
should be provided in context.
Screen reader users have the ability to display and navigate by lists of
elements, or jump from
element to element. Navigating this way is much quicker than listening to a
whole page, however
the context provided by paragraphs and other narrative is lost and
non-descriptive links become
harder to understand.
For downloadable links, we recommend that the file type and size of the file is
also included in the
link text to allow the user to make a decision whether or not to download the
file."

This bug addresses the links identified in the report as needing clearer
descriptions.
