Raising the Accessibility Baseline in the Koha OPAC
Year: 2026
Type: other
Abstract: The Koha OPAC is highly customizable — but small theming decisions can unintentionally create barriers for users relying on keyboard navigation or readable contrast. This lightning talk focuses on two simple but powerful accessibility tests: Can you navigate the OPAC using only a keyboard? And can you comfortably read it under real-world conditions? By examining common issues such as missing focus indicators, divs used in place of native controls, broken tab order, and contrast failures introduced through branding customization, this session reframes accessibility as interaction quality rather than compliance.
