What looks like a small bug in the Evergreen user interface can actually be a larger issue underneath! Learn how little UI glitches can be clues to hidden accessibility problems that have big consequences. Bad alignment, weird colors, and unexpected pointer styles–no bug is too small to report. We’ll describe what to look for and discuss how these little details can add up to big problems for people with visual, mobility, or cognitive impairments. We’ll also demonstrate how to find these issues proactively with some five-minute accessibility tests that you can do using only your keyboard and a browser extension or two.

Our panel will discuss every aspect of upgrades and how PaILS/SPARK PA, BC Libraries Cooperative, and Bibliomation approach these methods. We’ll talk about training materials, scheduling the upgrade, talking to end users about the importance of upgrades, providing the right documentation, and the technical aspects of the upgrade itself.
