Purpose

This web site was created to make readily available the most recent data on web page accessibility at University of Wisconsin campuses, along with some other information pertinent to the issue. The data were collected between March 18 and March 26, 2003, and they will be presented, in form of a poster session, at the Wisconsin Association of Academic Libraries (WAAL) conference (Milwaukee, WI, April 3, 2003) and, in the context of a broader presentation on the accessibility of library resources, at the Wisconsin Library Association (WLA) conference (Milwaukee, Fall 2003).

This survey is the fifth in a series of studies focusing on web accessibility on UW campuses--a series that was begun in 1999. The findings presented here will not only provide a picture of the present, but they will also furnish each of the 13 major campuses within the UW system with trend information reflecting its relative progress over time--information that could help each campus to evaluate the effectiveness of its current policies and implementation measures pertaining to the creation of an accessible Web environment.
