Hello,

 

I posted about this to Alma-L earlier and Holli suggested I post over here too as it pertains to accessibility. This morning I noticed that the Alma documentation page (knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com) suddenly had much worse contrast for links and other UI elements. (The links had seemingly gone from #00F to #30B3F6 over the weekend for starters, which results in very low contrast any time a link appears.) From the thread on Alma-L it looks like some people are seeing the change I’ve seen, but it also doesn’t appear to be rolled out to everyone yet.

 

As I know this is a relatively new CoP I’m not sure what’s already been discussed where, but I’m curious if there’s any obvious known way to give feedback on the documentation pages. There seem to be mechanisms for bringing up accessibility/usability issues for Alma/Primo/etc. but it’s less clear where issues with the interface for the support site go.

 

I have my own accessibility concerns with it just personally, but I also know as someone who has studied web usability and accessibility that it can be an issue for many users. (Personally, I’m finding it even hard to skim the page because the links blend into the background more than they should.)

 

Thanks,

Rebecca
