Good evening, We are currently experiencing a dilemma with alt tags in our digital collections.
We would like to include alt tags to be in compliance with accessibility guidelines. When looking at an item detail page <https://gallery.multcolib.org/image/widmer-kegs-trailer>, there is a lot of surrounding metadata to help visualize the image, but on our search results <https://gallery.multcolib.org/search/site> pages, that detail is not present. Currently a screen reader is not reading the titles of the images on our search results page. We are able to add alt tags to the image to help with this. Our dilemma is what those tags should be so they are not redundant of either the title or description metadata, but still helpful. Are any of you using alt tags in your images for digital collections similiar to ours? If so, what guidelines do you use to create those alt tags?
