The accessibility of ubook.at is of great concern to us. As far as possible, the information on our website should be usable by all people, regardless of technical equipment, security settings or personal handicaps. 

With this in mind, the Zentraler Informatikdienst of the University of Vienna strives to make the website accessible in accordance with the Web Accessibility Act (WZG) as amended to implement Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016 on barrier-free access to the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies (Official Journal L 327, 2.12.2016, p. 1).

This accessibility statement applies to the website ubook.at.

Status of compatibility with the requirements
Due to various incompatibilities, the website is not yet partially compatible with compliance level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - WCAG 2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) or with the applicable European Standard EN 301 549 V2.1.2 (2018-08). An external audit according to the provisions of WCAG 2.1 is in progress. 

Non-accessible content
Due to the historical development of the website, we assume that the website content is not fully accessible.

According to an initial external review, the website does not comply with the provisions of WCAG 2.1 in the following points

• Alternative texts for images partly not sufficient
• Page title partly not expressive enough
