Oxford Reference Online has been designed for general compliance with section 508 (1998 amendments) of the US Rehabilitation Act 1973. Oxford Reference Online has also been tested to a limited degree using the screen reader JAWS, and works acceptably well with this software. Long terms plans include further testing of Oxford Reference Online using JAWS and other screen reading software, and to continue to work on improving compliance with accessibility legislation. Please contact us if you believe any barriers remain.
