Original Kurzfassung:
Searching in library catalogue systems is often impossible for visually impaired readers due to the lack of accessible on-line public access catalogues (OPAC). The reason for this is that the applications are not designed for access with adaptive technology as used by blind and partially sighted users. Part of the Austrian workpackage in the TESTLAB project was the development of an OPAC which is based on graphical user interface (GUI). The application has been designed to allow a maximum of accessibility. A set of user interface design principles has been derived from the actual implementation of the TESTLAB OPAC. Usability tests have shown that careful design of GUI-based OPAC may open the library world to visually impaired readers by providing an easy-to-use and efficient search tool.
