Purpose
Provides publishers and institutions with a comprehensive view of accessibility metadata across their digital assets. This dashboard surfaces the completeness of accessibility claims at both the portfolio and title level, enabling users to identify gaps, monitor metadata tier distribution and evaluate accessibility readiness for assets with active sales, upcoming Access Programme adoptions and active Explore Subscriptions.
Report Notes
-
The access filter will automatically filter the report to show products that are:
Owned by the user’s Publisher company ID (for publishers)
Adopted by the user’s Institution ID (for institutions).
Results are limited to items with adoptions in the last 18 months and have a current or upcoming adoption.
Data presence is based on the accessibility metadata provided by the publisher. Where a ‘null’ is present, accessibility metadata has not been sent for that category.
