Abstrakt: It is difficult for libraries to keep track of resource accessibility when libraries often subscribe to thousands of resources. One means for recording a resource's accessibility is the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). Completed by the product vendor, a VPAT documents whether the resource does or does not support accessibility over a wide range of criteria. For the past few years, Texas A&M University (TAMU) Libraries have been gathering VPATs as a way to track accessibility across its electronic resources. What follows is an analysis of the collection of VPATs that the TAMU Libraries have gathered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
