<div dir="ltr"><div>Evergreen Board Members, </div><br>I am forwarding the results of an accessibility audit that the Center for Inclusive Design and Innovation (CIDI) recently completed on the web staff client. The tests were conducted on a PINES test server. We were happy to see overall good results but there are some items that the community will want to consider. Please note that there are two attachments with results as well as a video embedded in the forwarded email below. Please consider convening a group from the community to review the results and discuss how to remediate some of the problem areas. This audit was paid with a grant from the Georgia ADA coordinator's office. <div><br></div><div>Respectfully, </div><div><br></div><div>Elizabeth<br><div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Rempel, Johan</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:jrempel3@gatech.edu" target="_blank">jrempel3@gatech.edu</a>></span><br>Date: Thu, Jun 27, 2019 at 2:19 PM<br>Subject: Evergreen Application Accessibility Evaluation<br>To: Elizabeth McKinney <<a href="mailto:emckinney@georgialibraries.org" target="_blank">emckinney@georgialibraries.org</a>><br></div><br><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The goal of the information included in the report is to assist with the prioritization of issues to be remediated. The impact of the issue is rated on how much of a barrier the respective issues pose, along with the pervasiveness of the
issues throughout the application. The level of effort is based on the reviewer's knowledge of recommendations to remediate the issues.
