Do
you have questions about academic library accessibility issues, such as web
accessibility, assistive technology, networking assistive technology, reference
and instruction for users with disabilities, and captioning? DC Public Library Adaptive Services Division, LITA
Accessibility Interest Group, ACRL Universal Accessibility Interest Group and
ASCLA Academic Libraries Accessibility and Disability Discussion Group (ALAD),
and will sponsor a joint discussion forum for academic library disability
service topics. People with expertise in web development, high level adaptive
technology users, and academic and public library adaptive technology
professionals from AccessibilityDC Meetup and the Adaptive Services Interest
Group are being invited to share information with librarians who are newer to
these issues. Although the focus is on
academic libraries, public librarians and other librarians are welcome to
attend and share their accessibility-related expertise and experience.
