You're just fashionably late! The project you're working on sounds great- Are there elements of that project that are a particular challenge? If someone else were to undertake a similar project, what advice would you give them?

Here's a ridiculously late response to this introduction thread!  My name is Adina Mulliken.  I'm a social work librarian at Hunter College, City University of New York (CUNY).  We have faculty status here, so I also have title of Associate Professor, but I'm a librarian, not on the teaching faculty.

I've been very happy that Anaya has agreed to lead this group!!! Also that Trisha has led it for the past year:).

As far as what accessibility topics I'm working on, one of my main focuses lately has been working, with  several student employees and staff, on improving accessibility of our e-reserves, primarily by replacing copies of PDFs that have marks/highlighting/handwriting, etc. with cleaner and OCR'ed copies.  This involves thousands of documents, so is a pretty big project.

Good morning and Happy Friday!

Anaya and I would like to welcome all our new and established members of the Universal Accessibilty Interest Group. We are excited to start off a new year and to serve the accessibility needs of our colleagues. Some initial ideas we have include monthly engagement questions and sharing via the discussion board, invited speakers and more. As we start the new cycle, if any new members would like to introduce themselves and share a little bit about what you are doing at your institutions, that would be great! Anaya and I will kick that off.

As always, please do not hesitate to use this space to lean into the expertise of other librarians. We are all in this together working to ensure equity of access for our users...and our collective efforts and voices are always stronger together.

Our best,

Trisha & Anaya
