Hi Koha-devel,

We recieved through our website the following message. As I suspect
BibLibre was not the only one to get it, did someone answer ? (and what
kind of answer) ?

Dear BibLibre Representative:

I am contacting you on behalf of the Canadian Library Association's
Government Library and Information Management Professionals Network. 

Canadian federal government departments have been ordered to modify their
websites and web applications to comply with the Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 by July 2013. Within the federal library community,
there has been some concern about compliance of library management
systems to
this standard. 

As a result, the Canadian Library Association (CLA) is conducting a
survey of
major vendors of library and information management systems on the
compliance
of their products to either the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
(version
2.0) and/or Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act, as well as plans
they
may have to update their products to comply. The information collected in
this project will be published to the Network blog and communicated to the
CLA membership.

Could you direct me to the member of your organization best suited to
answer
a few questions about how your systems meet -- or intend to meet --
accessibility standards?


Many thanks,

Robin Gallagher
Project Manager, CLA Accessibility & Library Management Systems Project
