Hi Giles, This is actually both profoundly helpful and informative. Specifically the detail that different engines manage different areas of the site. As an illustration, I can log into the site just fine. However, you are asked to accept the bibliocommons terms of service. The checkbox works, the form to submit does not, all while your correct log in details are on the same page. Interesting too is the idea that a rely operator would know who to reach. I have never used or needed tty, but that seems a bit unique. Speaking from many long conversations, TPL does not use human for compliance testing, but simulations that even the w3c state are recipes for disasters. Still, there is a phone number for bibbilocommons, I may write answerline and their email contact together. Thanks again, Kare On Wed, 28 Jan 2026, Giles Orr via Talk wrote:
On January 19th, the library catalogue - and at least some part of the website's other functionality - moved to https://www.bibliocommons.com/ . This is a huge change, and it also means any previous compliance reports are meaningless as they apply to previous incarnations of the website.
Please keep in mind that different parts of the site are rendered by different engines and under different rules. If you have questions to TPL (not me ... I don't work on their website anymore, and don't intend to act as a go-between), be sure to quote the URL of the specific page that's causing problems. Answerline will try to assist:
https://tpl.ca/contact/ Answerline: 416-397-5981 If you are a TTY user, you can also call us using TTY Relay Service (711). Monday - Friday: 9 am - 8:00 pm Saturday: 9 am - 4:30 pm Sunday - Telephone only: 12 pm - 4:30 pm Holidays: Closed
They can't directly affect change on the website, but do know who to talk to about it.

I rarely visit <tpl.ca>, so I don't know what is "new" or "old". But, as of this writing, the front page renders okay. What part of it do you want us to check?

Hi folks, Anyone know if any effort was made to test the new tpl website in Linux at the basic level? Thanks, Kare
