Digital Library Federation (DLF) Digital Accessibility Working Group (DAWG)

  • 1.  Digital Library Federation (DLF) Digital Accessibility Working Group (DAWG)

    Posted Dec 12, 2024 10:36 AM

    Hi everyone - I just wanted to share information about another group doing accessibility work related to GLAM organizations. The Digital Library Federation's Digital Accessibility Working Group (DLF DAWG) works to explore issues related to ensuring that the digital resources within information organizations meet the needs of disabled users and staff.  This is a great group of people to work with! There are three subcommittees:

    • Policy and Workflows
    • IT and Development (this is the subcommittee I participate in)
    • Advocacy and Continuing Education

    Information about meetings is available on the website. Consider joining a meeting to learn more about the group and what we do.
