To ensure the curated accessibility resources on the website are of good quality, they were passed through an assessment matrix developed to rate the resources objectively. This makes it easier to sort through and find the best resources for any particular subject. The matrix is used to evaluate resources created outside of the PLARC project.
The matrix is composed of 6 criteria, which are all graded on a scale of 1 to 3, leaving resources with a total possible score out of 18. The options in the matrix include the following:
- Date of Last Update
- Library Relevance
- Cost
- Authority
- Accuracy
- Purpose
If an accessibility resource is available on the website, it was passed through this matrix and received a score of 14 or higher. More accessibility resources will be added to the website as it develops.
