Thank you for those resources, Bridgid!

I want to share one webinar I attended and two that are upcoming.

Last week I attended a Library Journal Webinar: Navigating the Evolving Accessibility Landscape. The focus was on work Clarivate has been doing to improve accessibility on Ebook Central. It was recorded and is available by clicking on the "Register" button.

Clarivate will be hosting another webinar on April 24th called Ebook Central Made Easy: Accessibility Tips and Tricks.

EBSCO shared a blog post today called What the EAA and ADA Title II Mean for Accessible E-Books.  It is a quick read sharing what EBSCO has done to make their ebooks and ebook platform more accessible.  It also contains a registration link for a webinar on May 15th that will cover how the EAA and ADA Title II changes is impacting ebooks.
