Alexandra Library is committed to designing web sites, databases, online catalog pages, and other web pages that are compatible with assistive technology software for the visually impaired. However, the Library subscribes to online resources hosted by third-party vendors and some of these pages may not be readable by the various brands of assistive technology software available to the public.

If you are using "JAWS for Windows" and are having difficulty reading web pages on the Library's web site, you will need to make adjustments to the applications to enable the software to read web pages designed with frames. Open the application and select "Options" from the top toolbar. Select "Utilities" from this menu. Choose "Frame Viewer" and scan the Frames list until you locate "Enable Frame". Select "Enable Frame", save and close the menu. The JAWS software should now be able to read through information and identify links in all frames on the Library's web site.

If you continue to have difficulty accessing any material on this site because of a disability, please feel free to contact us and we will work with you to make the information available. You can direct your request to:
