Abstract:
When the Libraries User Experience and Digital Media Services Group reached out to the Assistive Technology and Accessibility Centers (ATAC) for an accessibility evaluation, they did not realize this first consultation would morph into a long term collaboration. Come learn about the ATAC’s accessibility consultation services, the libraries digital media development, and how our two groups collaborated to improve the user experience for people with disabilities who use the libraries digital services. The digital media developers will discuss their experience with and the process of implementing accessibility into an open source and widely adopted media content platform.
