[Web4lib] Library Website

[Stiofan Perkins]

Ian:

An interesting list.  Only two of them pass the W3
HTML validator, four of them pass the automated
section 508 tests at Cynthia Says, and none of them
pass the automated WAI tests also at Cynthia Says. 
While those results do not mean the pages are
unaccessible, they do indicate that more attention
needs to be paid to accessibility in library web page
design.

Steven C. Perkins
