Accessibility Toolkit for Library Programs and Meetings on Virtual Platforms

The Association of Specialized Government and Cooperative Library Agencies, a division of the American Library Association, recently published a toolkit on virtual accessibility:

"Beginning in spring 2020, the number of libraries offering live meetings and programs through online virtual platforms has increased tremendously. It is essential to ensure that library events are welcoming and accessible for everyone who is interested in participating or learning with others in their communities. When online programs and classes are planned with accessibility in mind, it is possible for many people who have previously found barriers to enjoy and benefit from the opportunities their libraries provide."

There are tips for:

• Video Meetings and Presentations
• Webinars
• Group Discussions
• Accessible Documents
