Upcoming webinar: Bridging the Gap: Accessibility and Digital Collections for All Patrons

  • 1.  Upcoming webinar: Bridging the Gap: Accessibility and Digital Collections for All Patrons

    Posted Apr 16, 2025 11:50 AM

    Passing on this free webinar taking place on April 12th that I just learned about: Bridging the Gap: Accessibility and Digital Collections for All Patrons

    Description
    Join Library Futures and a distinguished panel of guests for a discussion on Bridging the Gap: Accessibility and Digital Collections for All Patrons. Digital collections must be accessible to patrons with disabilities, but compliance with legal requirements like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is often complex. This webinar will examine best practices for digital accessibility, legal mandates, and what libraries should expect from vendors to ensure inclusive user experiences.
