Accessibility Services

The URC is committed to supporting the staff of Harvard Library in all matters related to accessibility. We offer our expertise in testing, strategy development, and training. We can help answer questions about Harvard Digital Accessibility Policy or connect you with staff from Digital Accessibility Services (DAS).

Service Information

The service includes the following options for web pages, websites, or digital products:

  • Advice on accessibility strategy and Harvard Digital Accessibility Policy
  • Advice on what accessibility methods to use for projects
  • Facilitation of an accessibility test with an accessibility expert (using the Fable service)
  • Accessibility audits
  • Accessibility presentations at staff meetings

The service is available to library staff, committees, councils, or departments. Staff can email libraryux@harvard.edu with requests.

Accessibility Training

We work with partners in DAS to host training for library teams. If you have a group of 10+ library staff members interested in a specific digital accessibility training, we can request it for your team. Individuals or smaller groups can sign up for DAS training linked under Harvard-wide Accessibility Resources.
