ProQuest Provides an Interface Compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Expanding Access to a World of Information

The ProQuest online information service delivers 500 years of information to library users working both onsite and remotely through a variety of comprehensive and subject-specific databases. Now this valuable research tool will provide an ADA-compliant, alternate accessible interface, making it available to all users.

Convenience and Functionality

The ADA-compliant interface is:

  • Compliant with Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act
  • Following recommendations for most of the Priority A Checkpoints developed by the World Wide Web Consortium
  • Accessible to users with limited hand use and low or no vision
  • Compatible with major third-party screen readers and magnification software such as JAWS, Window-Eyes, and ZoomText
  • The same familiar ProQuest search syntax as the graphical interface
  • Frameless
  • Available from a link in the traditional interface
