Best Practices for Subject/Course/General LibGuides at USF

In order to best serve our USF community in their use of LibGuides, especially those with differing or other abilities, LibGuides now supports and encourages the use of Alt Text in images. This will allow screen readers and other programs used to provide available content and then present in the best format, auditory or text, to the user. The following information will help us to update any existing images in LibGuides to include this content, as well as help to ensure future guide images are accessible.

Here is the primary link to SpringShare and their full set of instructions: https://buzz.springshare.com/springynews/news-36/tips

In addition, the boxes below include screen captures of these steps and some of the additional content available on the above linked page. This page also includes accessibility suggestions related to color choices and contrast, link descriptions, as well as examples of Alt Text content uses.
