Accessibility
To help achieve our objective of excellence in scholarly publishing and research, the MIT Press strives to make its products accessible to and inclusive of all our users, including those with visual, hearing, cognitive, or motor impairments.
In line with these goals, we are working toward compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA, International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) EPUB Accessibility 1.0, General Services Administration Section 508 guidelines, and the European Accessibility Act.
