Hello, Ebook Aficianados,
As libraries expand their digital offerings, ensuring that every patron-regardless of physical limitation-can discover, borrow, and enjoy digital content is paramount. But how accessible are the platforms and reading apps we rely on every day and what can libraries do to optimize their digital offerings for patrons with accessibility needs?
Join us for this edition of The Digital Shelf, hosted by The Palace Project, in partnership with COSLA and ReadersFirst, as we dive deep into the real-world accessibility of library digital shelves. Our panel of accessibility advocates, library technology specialists, and digital publishing experts will provide a candid evaluation of major digital library platforms, examine current reading standards (WCAG, VPATs, EPUB3), and share practical strategies for making your library's digital shelf truly inclusive.
September 29, 1 pm (Eastern)
