Faculty Library Services: Database Accessibility

A guide created to assist faculty in all of their library needs

This page contains a list of databases that are compliant with either Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, or W3C WAI WCAG 2.0 Level A.  Some databases offer a simple statement of compliance, while others provide a copy of their Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) and/or additional instructions as to how one may maximize use of their databases with assistive technologies.

Databases not listed on this page either had no information available on their ADA compliance or, at this time, are not compliant. Please contact your school's librarian to ask about a specific database.
