Hello UAIG!
I am very excited to be your incoming convener this year! I'm Anaya Jones (she/her) MLIS, CPACC. I recently joined the Northeastern University library as the Accessibility and Online Learning Librarian. Here, I'll focus on the accessibility of our learning experiences and objects.
Until now, my experience working with accessibility has been something that wasn't intrinsic to my job description. I've worked with individual students, to remediate library materials, with vendors, and on better workflows to increase equity and access. I feel that accessibility is an important part of library missions, and that we all have a role to play in increasing accessibility.

Subject: Welcome New and Established UAIG Members!
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
