A new academic year brings new opportunities for partnering with community organizations, school administrators and teachers, and users themselves to ensure your library’s offerings not only support key needs, but are also highly visible within and valued by your community, school, or institution. In this session, we’ll brainstorm and share examples of key methods for developing and leveraging partnerships to increase understanding of your library’s value. Throughout the session we’ll explore the ways your NOVELNY resources can support these partnerships.

With recent lawsuits and updated legal requirements on the horizon, institutions are more worried than ever about complying with accessibility laws. But how do you know whether the measures you’re taking to make your content accessible are really working?

In this webinar, David Berman, the #1 rated speaker on the topic of web accessibility standards as well as an international expert in the field, will share with you the best tools his team uses when auditing and testing websites and documents. Having an excellent test regimen is a crucial part of online accessibility, and David has found the best tools to fit your workflow, platforms, and competencies… so you don’t have to! A combination of automated and manual testing will establish whether or not your website can be accessed as effectively by individuals with disabilities, and can determine whether or not you are compliant with legal standards. David will provide insight, tips, resources, and free tools for testing the accessibility of your website.

This webinar will cover:

• Why you need to test your website for accessibility
• How to build testing into your workflow
• The benefits of (and the dangers of not) testing for accessibility
• Tips for auditing, testing, and certifying
• The best free tools for accessibility testing
