Dear Guy,
I know that Geraldine Smith, from Open University has tested most of their
databases regarding accessibility and wrote a webpage about it. You can check it
on this link [http://library.open.ac.uk/help/access/index.cfm?id=7007].
Hope it helps,
Teresa

ebook platform Palgrave Connect when the beta launch happens in January. When
the launch happens institutions will be trialling the platform to see if they
want to buy it, so for once the accessibility testing will happen up front and
not be retrofitted long after the event. Palgrave have promised to take any
results from the accessibility test on board and act on them and have them
inform their accessibility statement.

hasn't, would they be interested in taking part in one?
