Upcoming events and an article

  • 1.  Upcoming events and an article

    Posted Sep 05, 2025 12:08 PM

    Hi everyone!

    I've recently learned of a couple of events that folks here might be interested in. 

    First, if any part of your work involves communicating with vendors, you might want to check out the Core E-forum on Engaging with Vendors on E-Resource Accessibility. This forum will take place on September 16-17, 2026. More information is available on at ALA Core e-Forums. 

    The second, is a free live webinar sponsored by Biblioteca on building inclusive library experiences. This will be held September 25, 2025 at noon CST.  You can register here.

    I also learned about this  recently published guest post published in The Scholarly Kitchen: Beyond Open Access, Part 1: Make Academic Content Truly Accessible for All.

    If anyone else know of upcoming events or interesting articles, please share them here!
