Subject: Freedom of Information request - Mobile library information
accessibility

Dear Leisure and Culture Dundee,

The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2)
Accessibility Regulations 2018 make it mandatory for websites to meet a
set of accessibility requirements. The website should meet the WCAG 2.1 AA
accessibility standard, and an accessibility statement should be
published.

Although applicable to all local government website online content, I am
investigating the current accessibility of mobile library information, and
the steps being taken to make this accessible by the relevant legislation
deadlines.

Could you let me know:

1. Is your mobile library information contained within the council
website, or a third party (e.g. library system or service provider)
website?

2. Was the website published before or after 23 September 2018? If a
similar site existed before this date, substantial changes to the website
would count as a 'new' site.

3. Does the current published content for mobile libraries meet WCAG 2.1
AA standards? If so, please supply results of the relevant accessibility
audit.

4. If not, what steps are you taking to make sure that this content is
accessible?

Yours faithfully,

Dave Rowe

Dear Dave ,
  
Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
 
I refer to your Freedom of Information request of 13th November 2019.
 
Please find below the answer to your questions;

1. Is your mobile library information contained within the council
website, or a third party (e.g. library system or service provider)
website?

Libraries and Information Services are part of Leisure and Culture Dundee
and as such all information relating to Libraries is hosted on the Leisure
and Culture Dundee website -
[1]http://www.leisureandculturedundee.com/l....

2. Was the website published before or after 23 September 2018? If a
similar site existed before this date, substantial changes to the website
would count as a 'new' site.

The website was launched in 2011.
3. Does the current published content for mobile libraries meet WCAG 2.1
AA standards? If so, please supply results of the relevant accessibility
audit.

The published content and pages are checked and passed to WCAG 2.0 AA
standards. The site is currently being checked to meet WCAG 2.1 AA
standards.

4. If not, what steps are you taking to make sure that this content is
accessible?

We are constantly updating and refreshing the content, functionality,
usability and accessibility of the Leisure and Culture Dundee website.
