You may have noticed things looking a little different across the LibreVerse lately. Our development team has been hard at work making LibreTexts platforms and resources more accessible in line with the new Title II guidelines, starting with an upgrade to a high visibility font. This is just the beginning. More accessibility improvements are on the way!
