As an aside, I see on this page one of the navigation bar links is
'eResources'.
When we audited a UK university's online library catalogue a few years
ago, we discovered that JAWS pronounced this phrase as
"eh-reh-soar-ses". This in turn was heard by at least one evaluator as
"error sources", which immediately confused them into thinking that
there was a problem with the application ("What error sources? What's
happened?").
A sign that the interface has not been near a screen reader during
design and evaluation?
