Hello; I am new to KOHA. My organization is looking into this ILS as we are a non-profit. One of our biggest concerns is that can KOHA, or will it in the near future, be accessible to visually impaired folks??? Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dennis Begany | Network Administrator/Office Coordinator Institute for Human Centered Design [Adaptive Environments] 200 Portland Street Boston, Ma 02114 phone: 617-695-1225 ext: 224 fax: 617-482-8099 dbegany@humancentereddesign.org www.humancentereddesign.org

I believe it's already 90% there on OPAC and could reach 100% with some investment in templating and a little development work to get rid of the remaining places where Koha generates untemplated html. I think the librarian interface is a whole other kettle of fish and would require quite a bit of work. Probably people with worse visual impairments than me (I'm only short-sighted and oversensitive to brightness) can comment more usefully. I'd love to have some structured test reports to work from.
