Making Online Library Promotions Accessible: How to Get Ready for the ADA Deadline
Robin Weis and Sagan Wallace (Oregon State Universities Libraries and Press
This presentation will briefly cover the updated American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, then will go in depth on how those apply to digital library promotions such as social media posts and web pages, with a focus on alternative text. We will demonstrate how we have incorporated this into our workflows, and share best practices, tips and tricks. Join us for interactive practice writing alternative text and problem solving, with plenty of time for questions.
