    Wonderful news: The Digital Library Accessibility Policy and Practice Guidelines have been published by CLIR. The report was written by the Policies & Workflows subgroup of DLF's Digital Accessibility Working Group (DAWG). 

    With the guide complete, the Policies & Workflows group is eager to embark on new projects and take on new members in 2024.  

    Want to join the Policies & Workflows group, learn more about our work, or guide the group's future direction?  

    • Please attend our 2024 icebreaker meeting at the following time. We'll introduce the group to those who want to get involved. Whether you want to join the group, are considering joining, or just want to find out more, please drop in and say hi.  

      • Fri 1/26/2024 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET

    • Please write to the group's co-chairs (Wendy Guerra- wguerra@unomaha.edu ; Gabe Galson- galson@temple.edu) to receive the zoom link for the January icebreaker meeting. We'll add you to the invite/contact list so you receive group updates and meeting invites.

    • In February the P&W subgroup will run a collaborative group exercise through which we'll identify future projects and define our future direction. We'll provide meeting details soon.  

     

    Hope to see you in January!
