  • 1.  New report on: Digital Library Accessibility Policy and Practice Guidelines

    Posted Nov 20, 2023 01:14 PM

    Greetings,

     

    The DLF Digital Accessibility Working Group has recently published a CLIR report on "Digital Library Accessibility Policy and Practice Guidelines" that I invite you to check out and share with your colleagues.

     

    This resource "will support you in overcoming challenges, advocating, and gaining buy-in and support, and will provide resources for developing an accessibility policy with strategies to achieve assigned responsibilities" (as stated in the introduction).

     

    Enjoy!
