Credo Reference
It is a priority for Credo that our system is accessible to all types of users, and we have designed Credo Online Reference Service to be used by people with disabilities.
Credo is committed to compliance with disability aids, such as screen readers. Specific elements have been put in place to aid visually-impaired users:
Keyboard Navigation
Credo Online Reference Service has been designed to be used with either keyboard or mouse controls. Here's how to operate the various features of Credo Online Reference Service using only the keyboard.
Tab and Shift-Tab Keys
The tab (and shift-tab) keys allow you to move to each link or form element. As you press tab, the focus will move forward through the links. Shift-tab will move backwards. The last tab stop will cycle back to the first tab stop as you keep pressing tab. In a screenreader, the first link on any page will be a "Skip to Content" page.
Information overlays (such as book and entry summaries) that are normally shown when hovering the mouse over a book or entry link are also shown when the link receives focus via the tab key. When a link has focus, press enter to follow the link. Some links in Credo Online Reference Service are actions that are performed within the page being shown, for example links that expand or contract a hierarchical display of other links.
Form Elements
When focus is on a checkbox, press spacebar to toggle the check.
When focus is on a selection list, such as the subject selections offered on the search form, use the up or down arrow keys to change the selection.
When focus is on a radio button group, the left or right arrow keys will move the selected button.
Mind Map
The Mind Map is a graphical presentation of important terms related to a search term. The map contains a set of linked term "nodes." Each node is connected to other nodes that are related to that node. After doing a Mind Map search, the page will show a graphical user interface for manipulating the map. The Mind Map can be operated with the following key commands.
Use Tab to navigate through the node list. Enter selects a new node, which will re-draw the map. Navigating to the entry list on the right allows a user to select a reference entry related to the node at the center of the map.
Ebook Central
Ebook Central is designed for patrons with accessibility needs, particularly the blind and visually impaired. We are:
Patrons using a screen reader may turn on accessibility mode themselves – no librarian or tech support needed!

IGI Global
IGI Global's InfoSci platform is accessible to users with disabilities, including keyboard-only users and those with visual and cognitive impairments. The platform is also responsive, meaning users can easily adjust font size and color/contrast settings on most devices. We have made every effort to ensure that our image-based PDF files are accessible and can be read with screen readers like JAWS. These files are tagged at a high level using an automated process.
IGI Global uses automated checks and tests with users against Section 508 and WCAG standards to evaluate and measure the accessibility of the site. A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) is available upon request.
