See [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?field.tag=accessibility+opac&field.tags_combinator=ALL|all Launchpad bugs tagged OPAC + accessibility]] for additional problems not listed in the report.

===== Staff client =====

Evergreen does not currently have an ACR for the staff client. The Board intends to commission accessibility reports for the various staff modules on a rolling basis.

However, the Center for Inclusive Design and Innovation (CIDI) [[accessibility:webclient_audit|audited the staff client in 2019]], and that report has led to a number of accessibility improvements. Check the [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?field.tag=accessibility|Accessibility tag on Launchpad]] for the current status of the issues identified in the report.
