In the U.S., the New Rule on the Accessibility of Web Content and Mobile Apps Provided by State and Local Governments goes into effect April 24, 2026. This requires that most web content meet WCAG 2.1, Level AA. Pressbooks’ Accessibility Statement says that it “‘supports’ or ‘partially supports’ all relevant Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 success criteria at the A or AA levels.”
We are beginning the process of assessing our books, including web, pdf, and ePub. There are some things we can fix ourselves but some that I think we will have to request Pressbooks to work on.
Is anyone else doing this? I don’t want to reinvent the wheel if so, and am also happy to share back our findings.
