Inklusion und Barrierefreiheit in Bibliotheken
Die Mehrheit aller Texte und Medien sind einem beträchtlichen Anteil der Menschen gar nicht oder nur sehr begrenzt zugänglich. Mit inklusiven Strukturen sowie barrierefreien Services und Angeboten können alle gleichermaßen lesen. Mit dem Impulsreferat werden rechtliche Hintergründe, Formate und praktische Herangehensweisen vorgestellt. Inklusion (in Bibliotheken) kann gelingen, wenn das FAIR-Prinzip und das der Accessibility von allen Seiten betrachtet wird.
How FAIR is (Web) Accessibility?
Reflections on a Survey on Contrasting Conceptions of Accessibility With Regard To Digital Scholarly Editions, and their Relevance to the FAIR Principles.
Accessibility is a concept that can mean many different things in many different contexts. In 2017, my colleagues and I conducted a survey to explore how the concept of accessibility was relevant to the field of digital scholarly editing, as it relates issues of dissemination, licensing, code sharing, usability, and inclusivity. Interestingly, these contrastive conceptions of ‘accessibility’ are quite different still from the more technically oriented Accessibility section in the FAIR Principles. In this talk, I will briefly introduce our research, explain how our interpretation of ‘accessibility’ is different from that in the FAIR Principles (which were still new at the time of our survey), and end by focussing more on the concept web accessibility and its relevance to the field of digital scholarly editing. This interpretation of ‘accessibility’ (which strives to provide indiscriminate access to resources for people with disabilities) is what is mostly meant with the term in the context of web development — but is strikingly absent from the FAIR Principles.
