ADA Compliance and Accessibility
ACLS Humanities Ebook is live on the Fulcrum platform as of August 1, 2018. FromAll ACLS HEB titles are presented in EPUB3 or PDF format with varying levels of accessibility enrichment. Most of our backlist titles are scanned from physical copies provided by the publisher, which have been processed with optical character recognition (OCR) software but not corrected. This may be made apparent by screen readers, search results, and text snippets that reveal errors in the OCR. More details about the accessibility of the collection and the platform are available at this link: https://www.fulcrum.org/accessibility/. From that page:
The Fulcrum platform aims to meet WCAG 2.1 AA Standards in both the platform and its content by providing infrastructure and resources to support accessible books, image descriptions, transcripts for audio, captions for video, and alternative formats for digitized content.
The extent to which Fulcrums meets WCAG 2.0 and Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act is reported in Fulcrum’s Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT®) Version 2.3 INT.
