Library ICT Due Diligence Reporting – Using Vendor API to Show Active Access Providers with VPAT Statuses
Tuesday, May 9, 2023 at 11:30 AM–11:50 AM PDT

Presentation Topic Description
We attach VPAT or alternate accessibility documents to Alma access provider vendor records as proof of our due diligence for campus procurement requirements. We create faux accounts for hardware and software vendors not paid in Alma for completeness. We use vendor web addresses fields to record notes and dates for the documentation, as these can be exposed in vendor API calls. I will share PHP scripts from a local Apache instance that produce a web-accessible summary report page for our purchasing stakeholders along with multiple screenshots.
