Accessibility

Journals

Lesley provides access to journal content from a multitude of different database vendors and publishing companies. Accessibility statements here reflect the standards for the website or platform for each publisher, not necessarily individual pieces of content, such as back issues of journal articles. These are the major publishers that users will encounter searching through library content; for questions about other journals, email Alexis Dhembe, Electronic Resources Access Librarian.

  • Elsevier follows Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 Guidelines for their website.

While each business unit must determine an appropriate period, we suggest that all major products be audited within a 3-year period."
