Book cover alt text truncated on OPAC call number search results

[Allison Matherne]

The alt text for book images is cut off if the book’s title exceeds a certain length. For example, the image for Mindfulness for teen anxiety : a workbook for overcoming anxiety at home, at school, & everywhere else has the alt text “Go to record Mindfulness for teen anxiety : a workbook for overcoming a...”. If somebody is navigating from image to image, they will not hear the book’s full title. Remove length restrictions from the function that is assigning alt text to these images. It is usually best practice to keep alt text fairly short, but not when the alternative is cutting off a title mid-word.
