Bug 39492: Browse Shelf Links on 'Publications' Pg

Description Alexander Blanchard 2025-03-31 11:45:51 UTC
The accessibility audit highlighted that on the accessibility page there are repeated 'Browse Shelf' links. The report indicates that these need additional context to be clear without relying on surrounding context. 

The suggested solution is to add extra context using aria-label or aria-labelledby

Bug 39492: Browse Shelf Links on 'Publications' Pg

An accessibility audit has highlighted that the Browse Shelf link on the Publicaitons page does not provide enough context for visually impaired users. The suggested solution was to add aria-labels to provide context.

To test:
1) Ensure that you have at least one item with a call number.
2) Navigate to the item's page and scroll down to the table.
3) Right click and choose inspect on the 'Browse Shelf' link and note that there is not an aria label.
4) Apply patch.
5) Repeat the steps above.
6) Notice that there is an aria-label that adds context to the Browse Shelf link by including the title of the record.
