Viewing the sunrise: iPac 2.0 accessibility

iPac 2.0, the Web‐based online catalog of epixtech, inc., was scheduled to go into general release for Dynix and Horizon Sunrise customers in the fourth quarter 2001. Previous epixtech Web‐based online catalogs (Java‐ and HTML‐based) presented difficulties for accessibility. This article evaluates the third in a series of iPac products, 2.0, using the following accessibility tools: Bobby, JAWS for Windows, Vischeck Color Blindness Simulator, W3C Validator, and ZoomText. This article attempts to evaluate the accessibility of iPac 2.0 against these five tools, tools that are more traditionally used with standard HTML Web pages than Web‐based online catalogs.
