[Wartella, Becky (MDE)]

November 8, 2024, 10:00am-11:30am - The Modern eAccessibility Landscape in Public Libraries
On April 24, 2024, the Department of Justice's issued a final rule updating its regulations for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The final rule has specific requirements about how to ensure that web content and mobile applications (apps) are accessible to people with disabilities. This webinar will provide information, tips and techniques for library web, mobile site, and app content creators to assist them in ensuring their library's websites, apps, and mobile sites are compliant with new accessibility requirements.

Learners will be able to compare their library to 620+ other public libraries on key web accessibility success indicators. Learn about the supports a library needs to create and maintain an accessible digital footprint.

This presentation is intended for library directors and staff who manage and maintain library websites, mobile sites, and apps, as well as for those who are responsible for a library's ADA and PWDCRA and accessibility compliance.

Participants in this program will be able to:

  *   Describe the basic requirements included in the new ADA Web Accessibility Regulations.
  *   Discuss the impact accessibility can have on library experiences of vision impaired and other disabled members of their community.
  *   Create a plan for making their library's website and other online presences more accessible in compliance with the new regulations.
