Bobby Analysis Of JISC 5/99 Project Entry Points

A pilot survey of the accessibility of the home pages of JISC 5/99 projects has been carried out. The survey makes use of the Bobby compliance checking tool.

A summary of the findings is given in the following table.

You can use the service yourself either by going to Bobby or by entering a URL in the following box:

Notes

Please note the following:

• Only the projects with a Web site have been analysed.
• Only the entry points have been analysed.
• Only an automated analysis has been carried out.
• The online version of this page allows the latest findings to be obtained.

Summary

A summary of the findings is given below.

Table 12: Bobby Compliance

A Compliant	24 (19)	59% (46%)
AA Compliant	5	12%
Not Compliant	21	51%

Please note that the table gives the numbers satisfying the compliance level followed by the figures for pages for which this is the maximum level (i.e. a page which satisfies A also satisfies AA, so 24 pages satisfy A requirements and 19 satisfy A and AA).

A summary in graphical format is given below.
