Using the Features of This Site

Keyboard Accessibility

This site can be navigated with the keyboard. In most web browsers, it is possible to use the TAB key to select links on each page. Press the TAB key until your desired link has a rectangle around it, then press RETURN to follow that link. On pages with forms, the TAB key can be used to move from one input field to the next.

Skip Links

Each page of this site begins with a link that enables you to skip past the navigation links directly to the content of the page. The link is only visible in text and speech-based browsers. This may help reduce typing to select links within the page, and for those with speech-based browsers it can reduce the amount of repetitive text.

Additional Features

Setting the Font Size

In your browser's "View" menu, there is a "Text Size" selector tool which you may use to increase or reduce the text size.
