Web accessibility; UNEMAT; Blindness.
Digital accessibility is a topic of growing importance in contemporary society, as the internet plays a central role in people's lives. Ensuring that everyone has equal access to information online is fundamental, and web accessibility has become an essential concern and a fundamental right. The aim of this study was to analyze web accessibility for blind people on the website of the State University of Mato Grosso (UNEMAT). To this end, the research problem is defined as follows: what is the degree of accessibility of the Mato Grosso State University (UNEMAT) website and its integrated services websites for blind students? As methodological procedures, we adopted: a systematic literature review (SRL); a single case study, with UNEMAT as the case unit of analysis, from the perspective of website accessibility, the tests were carried out with the AccessMonitor program, which consists of checking automatic accessibility, and later we carried out the check with the participation of a blind academic. The results of the research show that there are few studies on the accessibility of academic websites, based on the databases consulted, and also allow us to answer the research problem by demonstrating that on the AccessMonitor scale of 0 to 10, the accessibility level of the UNEMAT website (https:\\www.unemat.br) is 4.6 and of the integrated services 3.7 Gnuteca, 7 Minha Biblioteca, 5.9 Gerador de Ficha Catalográfica, 4.9 ECO-Sistema and 4 SIGAA. On the other hand, we also analyzed the campuses' pages and obtained the following distribution: Tangará da Serra with 7.4; Nova Xavantina with 6.4; Nova Mutum 6.2; Alta Floresta with 5.1; Diamantino 4.8; Barra do Bugres 4.6; Central site 4.6; Sinop 4.4; Juara 4.2; Cáceres 4.1 and Colíder was inaccessible during the 5 days of testing. We can highlight the Tangará da Serra campus and Minha Biblioteca, which is a contracted service and not UNEMAT's. With the results obtained, we have successfully achieved the research objectives, providing a broad view of accessibility on the UNEMAT portal and its ecosystem. Using both automatic data and the perceptions of blind students.
