SWAN Member Libraries, Are you aware of how people with disabilities use the library catalog and library web apps? Please join SWAN and Deque<https://www.deque.com/> on September 21st via Zoom to learn about web accessibility. In this one-hour webinar, you will learn how web accessibility is defined, what inclusive design looks like, and how to ask vendors about the accessibility of the products you purchase for your library collections. The webinar is open to everyone, and we especially encourage anyone who is an administrator to the Aspen catalog, designing a library website, or making purchasing decisions for your electronic resources to join. Register on L2 for Web Accessibility Fundamentals for Libraries<https://librarylearning.org/event/2021-09-21/web-accessibility-fundamentals…> Deque will send a Zoom link for access closer to the webinar date. This webinar will not be recorded so please plan to attend in person. This webinar was funded by the RAILS Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Grant. Please check out the support page dedicated to Accessibility for the Catalog and Databases<https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/66941> for more info about SWAN and web accessibility.
