Presentation: Implementing and Applying Accessibility

- Speakers:
   - Michelle Chronister, associate dean of the University Libraries at Bowling Green State University, will discuss how BGSU is approaching and prioritizing accessibility improvements to their website, which is managed by a distributed group.
   - Marsha Miles, head, Digital Initiatives and Collections and Barb Loomis, project coordinator will share Cleveland State University's Michael Schwartz Library workflows for processing files to meet the accessibility standards.
   - Virginia Dressler, digital projects librarian, and Jason Piatt, electronic & information technology manager, Student Accessibility Services, Kent State University, will talk about accessibility and digital projects at KSU and how accessibility has been incorporated into new digital projects. This work began with the implementation of an institutional policy relating to accessibility and digital content, and how this has led to the Digital Projects Librarian to adapt production workflows to meet accessibility requirements. We will talk about the learning curves involved in the process and how the KSU accessibility office has assisted in this endeavor with hands on training and education to library staff.
   - Emily Gattozzi, coordinator of Scholarly Publishing, and Lindy Smith, reference archivist, Music Library and Bill Schurk Sound Archives, Bowling Green State University, have set out to create some guidelines and best practices for making sure digital media is accessible to all users as part of a larger effort to improve the accessibility of all library generated web content. They will talk about the process of making BGSU's media accessible and suggest some tools and resources to help you do the same.
