  • 1.  Midwinter Attendance

    Posted Sep 11, 2014 10:45 AM
    Is anyone planning on attending Midwinter? I am trying to determine if there is interest in an in-person ACRL Universal Accessibility Interest Group (UAIG) meeting at the conference. The ALA deadline for meeting room requests is September 22, which is right around the corner. I may check with LITA/ASCLA Universal Accessibility Interest Groups to see if they are coordinating anything and the possibility of a joint meeting.


    Even if a Midwinter meeting happens, there are still plans for having a virtual meeting or meeting via text chat. More details to come.

    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John,

     

    I plan to attend MidWinter. LITA Accessibility IG usually have the joint meeting with ACRL to safe time, space, and redundant information. Debra Riley-Huff is the current LITA Accessibility IG, so please feel free to contact her.
