SUMMARY:Is Your Library Ready? Navigating the ADA Title II Digital Accessibility Rule!
DESCRIPTION:The clock is ticking. By April 2024\, the Department of Justice finalized a new rule under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)\, establishing specific technical standards for digital accessibility for public entities. Whether you work in a public university\, a state-funded hospital\, or a community college\, this rule impacts your website\, your LibGuides\, your licensed databases\, and your instructional materials. Join five MLA Caucuses—Accessibility & Disability\, Technical Services\, User Experience\, Technology in Education\, and Vision Science—for a 90-minute-deep dive into what you need to do before the April 2026 compliance deadline. What we will cover: – A plain-language breakdown of the WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements. – The impact on vendor contracts and e-resource procurement. – Practical tips for auditing your library’s digital presence. – A multi-disciplinary panel discussion and live Q&A.  Visit any of the participating caucuses’ discussion lists for the link to attend.
