Our commitment to accessibility
To help achieve our objective of excellence in research, scholarship and education and as part of our commitment to serving our customers and users, Oxford University Press is striving 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 follow the general principles of web usability and universal design and, where feasible, endeavor to make the Oxford History of Western Music (hereafter known as the Oxford Western Music) accessible to all regardless of physical or cognitive impairment or the device used. We are currently targeting adherence to level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1), in order to help our users take full advantage of the accessibility features provided by their chosen device, web browser or operating system.
Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT)
Oxford Western Music complies with applicable law relating to accessibility (including with the obligations under The Equality Act 2010) and much of Oxford Western Music is already accessible in accordance with WCAG 2.1. We have commissioned independent VPAT assessment reports to help us better understand how we can improve accessibility on Oxford Western Music in line with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (US). Please download our latest assessment below. As we develop and improve our accessibility offering, we will provide updated VPATs on this page.
Requesting accessible copies of our publications
Your Disability Resource Center or equivalent department may submit an accessibility request for content in a specific format to suit your personal needs. Details on how to submit a request can be found on our Accessibility Resources page. We will endeavor to meet any reasonable accessibility request that we receive.
Your feedback
Our commitment to providing accessible and inclusive content is an ongoing activity. If you have any comments or insights on accessibility that you would like to share with us to help us in this mission, please contact Customer Services.
