[OPLINTECH] FREE webinar: Introduction to Website Accessibility

[Laura Solomon]

*Friday, April 2, 2021 at 10:00 am*

Are you concerned that your library's website isn't meeting accessibility
standards? If not, you should be--lawsuits concerning website accessibility
failures are increasing, and libraries do not have immunity.

In this one-hour webinar, you'll gain an understanding of which guidelines
are used to measure website accessibility in the United States, and how to
begin to evaluate your own library's site for potential issues. We'll also
discuss some common pitfalls and things to avoid. Topics for this webinar
include:

   - What accessibility means in a web context, and how it differs from web
   usability
   - Legal issues surrounding web accessibility and how these can affect
   libraries;
   - National and international standards commonly used for accessibility
   evaluations, and which to use, when
   - An introduction to automated validators and what they can and cannot
   do;
   - Actual code examples for both good and bad implementations of some
   common HTML elements
