That’s promising Manuela.  Thank you. I think it is a bit under-described, though.  I’m not sure what “Header/Footer Tiles Labels” mean.

Subject: [Eluna-accessibility] WCAG 2.0, 2.4.2: Primo NDE & the Full Record Display

I would appreciate it if someone who has access to the Primo NDE, can try this WCAG test:

Test environment

1. Search for an article or book
2. Open the full record display

Testing procedure

Apply the test procedures in WCAG Failure test F25 (“This describes a failure condition when the web page has a title, but the title does not identify the contents or purpose of the web page.”)

Procedure

1. Check whether the title of each web page identifies the contents or purpose of the web page .

Expected Results

· If check #1 is false, then this failure condition applies and the content fails this Success Criterion.

Results

When I do it, I notice: <title>PrimoVeNde</title> for multiple items

This is concerning because WCAG 2.x (A) success criteria 2.4.2 is intended to protect users with these disabilities:

• People with visual disabilities will benefit from being able to differentiate content when multiple web pages are open.
• People with cognitive disabilities, limited short-term memory and reading disabilities also benefit from the ability to identify content by its title.
• This criterion also benefits people with severe mobility impairments whose mode of operation relies on audio when navigating between web pages.

Please let me know what you find.
