SMC Library Accessibility Statement
Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. These guidelines define three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Level AAA is the highest level of conformance. Saint Mary’s College Library is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some content parts do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.
For assistance, or if you have suggestions or comments about accessibility at Saint Mary’s College Library, email the library: askalib@stmarys-ca.edu
