Submitted by julie.cristinz… on
Can the purpose of each link be determined from the link text, or from the link text together with its surrounding context?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Can keyboard focus be moved to all page elements?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
If moving keyboard focus away from a component requires more than arrow or tab keys, is this clearly indicated on the page?
Answer: Not Applicable
Score: -1
Notes: There is no indication that a user needs more than an arrow and tab key.
Is default keyboard navigation order logical and intuitive, following the visual flow of the page as described above?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: The keyboard navigation starts with main content of the page which is the search and/or results page. There is a column on the left hand side that contains 'My dashboard' 'Research tools' and 'Get help'. If a user is just using keyboard navigation, they would have to navigate all the way to the very bottom of the screen then up to the browser and all it's linked elements before arriving at this column.
When using a keyboard to navigate the interface, is the keyboard focus indicator visible?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Does all interactive functionality work via keyboard, and does it behave consistently and as expected?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Does focus order move sequentially across form fields?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:

Score: 2

Are skip links visible or invisible?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes: Invisible

Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Are skip links labelled properly?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Are skip links accessible via keyboard?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: When page is initially loaded and tab button is entered, the skip link does not appear first. Rather, the focusable element defaults to main content of page i.e. results page and/or record page. I confirmed the existence of skip links on these pages through WAVE. However, when opening an eBook and entering 'tab' the skip link appears immediately.
Do anchors (link destinations) appear at the beginning of the relevant content?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Do skip navigation controls appear in the same place on every page?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Does the reader capture accurate information as it appears in the table and the columns and rows?
Answer: Not Applicable
Score: -1
Notes: There are no tables.
Does the screen reader successfully navigate from one frame to another?
Answer: Not Applicable
Score: -1
Notes: The screen reader could not identify any frames.
Does each frame have a meaningful title that tells the user the purpose of the frame?
Answer: Not Applicable
Score: -1
Notes: The screen reader could not identify any frames.
When navigating the page using keyboard navigation, is the user able to navigate effectively from one frame to the next?
