Considering international trends and foreign cases, it can be easily expected that web accessibility issue is becoming more and more important. While information technology has changed Korean society rapidly and widely, there are many People who have difficulties in using information services such as the elderly and persons with disabilities. One of the big barriers they face is the lack of accessibility of web services. These social problems have been rarely studied in Korea but surface as very import subjects to be addressed concerning IT and welfare policy. The objective of this study is to ensure web accessibility right for visually handicapped and reduce digital divide through development of a recommendation guideline of mobile internet user interface. In this study the trends of politics and laws related to web accessibility in developed countries are surveyed and some advisable recommendation guidelines of mobile internet user interface for visually handicapped to improve web accessibility are proposed.

The objective of this research is to measure the quality of web accessibility of Tripitaka Koreana websites. To achieve this research aim, three typical websites were selected, and conducted both the system-based evaluation and the user-based evaluation using the six common indicators. It found that no website satisfied with the 95% accessibility level in all six indicators, and users were more likely to respond positively to the high level of web accessibility results from the system-based evaluation (i.e., providing alternate texts, providing titles, displaying the basic languages, performing user requests, and providing labels). We suggested some ideas to increase the web accessibility based on the results of analysis.

The development of a web has made our life more convenient than ever before; however, the elderly and disabled people have not advantage on it. Due to "Anti-Discrimination against and Remedies for Persons with Disabilities Act" enacted in 2008, the importance of web accessibility education has been important, but education on the web accessibility has not been actively implemented yet. Thus, in this paper the trends of web accessibility education in both domestic government agencies and private organizations are reviewed. In addition, its trends on the foreign government agencies, private organizations, and institutions of universities are summarized. To achieve this research goal, literature review was carried out and data collected from the both domestic and foreign countries were compared. Based on the review, the way to vitalize web accessibility education in Korea is discussed. The contribution of this paper is that web accessibility education of domestic and foreign institutions are compared for the first time and thereby, the implications for activating web accessibility education are suggested.

정보통신기술(ICT)은 우리 일상생활에 너무나 깊숙이 스며들어 이제 정보통신기술 없이는 행정서비스, 경제활동, 사회참여, 문화활동 등을 향유하는데 많은 제약이 따르는 시대로 접어들었다. 정보통신기술에 접근하고 이용할 수 있는 사람과 그렇지 못한 사람들의 정보격차 (Digital Divide)가 경제격차와 사회문화적 격차를 유발하여 사회 불평등을 심화시키고 궁극적으로 사회통합을 저해할 가능성이 크다. 정보통신 접근성(ICT Accessibility)은 신체적, 인지적 제약으로 정보통신기기나 서비스에 접근하는데 어려움이 있는 장애인이나 고령자가 일반인과 차별 없이 정보통신의 유용성을 향유할 수 있도록 정보통신기기나 서비스에 대한 접근을 보장해 주는 것을 의미한다. 우리나라는 미국이나 유럽 등 선진국들에 비해 정보통신 접근성을 위한 법 제도적인 출발이 늦었지만, 최근 수년간 관련 법률의 제정, 정보통신 접근성 보장을 위한 지침 및 표준의 제정 등 다각적인 노력을 경주하여 빠른 속도로 선진국 수준을 향해 나아가고 있다. 지금까지 '한국형 웹 콘텐츠 접근성 지침 2.0', '금융자동화기기 접근성 지침' 등 12개에 이르는 표준을 제정한 바 있으며, 정보통신 보조기기의 개발 보급, 관련 전문인력 양성 및 교육 홍보 등을 통해 정보통신 접근성 수준 향상을 위한 노력을 지속해 왔다. 앞으로도 모바일 시대, 디지털 융합의 스마트 시대에 대응하여 다양한 정보통신기기 및 서비스에 대한 접근성 표준 제정, 관련 기술의 연구 등을 지속적으로 추진하여 모든 사람이 정보화의 혜택을 누리는 디지털 통합 (Digital Inclusion) 시대를 열어나가야 할 것이다.

Web accessibility refers to the practice of providing equal access to web sites to people without and with disability. This study aims to investigate the web content accessibility of 153 university libraries in Korea, and further suggest the approach to implement an effective university library web site to meet Korean Web Content Accessibility Guidelines(KWCAG). Survey was conducted with two steps. The first step was to find out the general level of web accessibility of all university library web sites using an automatic appraisal tool, KADO-WAH2.0, and the detailed examination of web accessibility check items was limited to 19 web sites which proved excellent in automatic appraisal. Regretfully, the result says that there is no perfect web site. Therefore every university library is advisable to make good use of the findings to meet all the requirements of KWCAG. In particular, the basic requirements, such as voice service, resizing and highlighting text, must be fulfilled by priority and to almost all contents.
