Librarian in Black Blog – Sarah Houghton

A really interesting discussion has been going on recently on Web4Lib about standards complaince and library websites.  The entire thread (choose page 2 at the top–at least as of right now) is interesting, but check out the overviews of the importance of standards from Thomas Dowling’s post and Ian Chan’s post.

I think that people have this misconception that making your website standards compliant and accessible (often these two things go hand in hand) is a huge task.  It’s not!  Especially if you’re engaging in a re-design or re-structuring of your site, now is the time to address standards and accessibility.
