Abstract

Abstract Accessibility of electronic resources is an increasingly important topic. The University of Tennessee (UT) Libraries began gathering Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs) in 2019 to demonstrate compliance with federal and state laws and university policy. This analysis seeks to identify trends in VPAT creation over time, as well as how to converse with a vendor based on how the VPAT itself is completed. After analyzing 161 VPATs, the authors found that the number of VPATs completed correctly has increased in recent years. Vendors can still improve VPATs by correctly completing and disclosing information, as well as make them widely available.

脆弱性和适应能力随时间变化的趋势

摘要电子资源的可访问性是一个日益重要的话题。田纳西大学（UT）图书馆于 2019 年开始收集自愿产品可访问性模板（VPAT），以证明其符合联邦和州法律以及大学政策。本分析报告旨在确定 VPAT 随时间推移的创建趋势，以及如何根据 VPAT 本身的完成情况与供应商进行交流。在对 161 份 VPAT 进行分析后，作者发现近年来正确完成 VPAT 的数量有所增加。供应商仍可通过正确填写和披露信息来改进 VPAT，并广泛提供 VPAT。
