DCatalog is committed to making content published on our platform accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Our goal is to provide an accessible platform and viewer that conforms to Section 508 Guidelines and the World Wide Web Consortium’s Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA. Some existing content may not comply, and some content may meet only the minimum required compliance standards. This will be resolved as technology evolves and others update their existing websites and continue efforts to monitor and maintain acceptable compliance levels. While every effort will be made, it is understood that creating accessible formats for some documentation and graphical renderings maintained by DCatalog may be technologically unfeasible, impractical, or creates an undue hardship to DCatalog’s operations.
We continue to make every effort to test the platform and viewer and to remove barriers that prevent persons with disabilities from interacting with or accessing information made available on our platform. If we become aware of content that does not conform to the WCAG 2.0 Level AA standards, we will make reasonable efforts to make the content conform to the standards. We cannot control or correct problems with third-party access, but please let us know if you encounter difficulty with the viewer so we can pass the information along to the owners of those digital editions. You may also want to address your concerns directly to these third parties.
While this policy does provide the standard for individuals with disabilities to access Web-based information, this policy cannot anticipate every accessibility need, due to known limitations of existing technology. There may be other circumstances, independent of technology that may limit the accessibility of DCatalog’s platform or viewer.

While we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the platform or viewer, particularly as it relates to content by third parties. DCatalog is not responsible for ensuring that third-party content, software/tools, widgets, add-ins, APIs, etc., which are not owned by DCatalog but are otherwise hosted on or linked from DCatalog, conform to WCAG 2.0 Level AA, and shall not be liable if they are inaccessible to individuals with disabilities.
