Accessibility

The National Bankruptcy Conference intends this site to be usable by everyone, including people who browse with a screen reader, a keyboard alone, magnification, or speech recognition.

The standard we work to

The site is built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. In practice that means every page can be operated by keyboard, text can be enlarged to 200% without loss of content, colour is never the only way information is conveyed, images carry text alternatives, and the contrast of text against its background meets the AA threshold.

Where the library falls short, and what we do about it

The Conference’s document archive reaches back to the 1930s. Papers written in the last few years are born-digital and their text is selectable and readable by assistive technology. Older papers are scans: photographs of typed or printed pages. Many have been through optical character recognition and are searchable, but the recognition is imperfect, and a scan of a table or a handwritten annotation may not be readable at all.

We are not able to remediate every page of a forty-year archive. What we can do, and will: if any document on this site is not readable to you, write or call the Conference office and we will send you its text in a form you can use. There is no need to explain why.

Known limitations

Alongside the scanned documents described above, some older PDFs lack the internal structure — tagged headings, reading order, table markup — that assistive technology relies on. Where a document has been converted to a web page on this site, that page is the accessible version, and it is the one we recommend.

Telling us about a problem

If you meet a barrier on this site, please tell us what you were trying to do and what happened. Reports of this kind are the main way we find problems, and they are welcome whether or not you use assistive technology.
