Accessibility of Other E-Resources

The online content our libraries and library system license from third-party vendors for public use includes e-books, e-audiobooks, streaming music or video, databases and websites.

MCFLS prioritizes working with third-party vendors who are committed to improving their online products to ensure equitable access for users of all abilities, and who are working to be in compliance with WCAG 2.1, Level AA standards. It is important because MCFLS and our members are legally responsible for the third-party content we license.

Below is an alphabetical list of the e-resources offered systemwide to all of our member libraries and their communities. Next to each product is the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (or VPAT) report and/or the accessibility statement describing the compliance status of their product(s).

Libraries with their own e-resource subscription, or who are considering a new subscription are advised to request a VPAT report and accessibility statement from the given vendor. MCFLS encourages member libraries to not pursue e-resource subscriptions when products do not meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards.
