SUMMARY:Digital Accessibility in Academic Libraries
DESCRIPTION:Come and join SCARLA on December 9th at 6:30 PM EST to explore some important topics regarding digital accessibility! \n\nThe event will address basic questions\, such as what digital accessibility means in academic libraries. Almost everything is digital today\, and it is essential to ask how academic libraries can assist students with cognitive or learning disabilities when they try to access resources or information on library websites. \nThe panelists will help the audience understand why digital accessibility matters in academic libraries\, how WCAG 2.1 and ADA Title II apply to library websites and applications\, and how digital accessibility can support diverse learners. They will also explore questions about surveillance  motivations behind the recent accessibility legislation.  \nMeeting information:  \nDate: Wednesday\, December 9th\, 2026 \nTime: 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM EST \nLocation: Zoom \nPanelists: \n● Rebecca Albrecht Oling\, Director of Digital Accessibility and Librarian at SUNY Purchase College  \n●  Amelia Acker\, Associate Professor\, School of Communication at Rutgers University  \n● Antonio Barrera\, Associate Director of Information Technology at Rutgers University \n● Amy Wolfe\, Accessibility Librarian at City University of New York. \n  \n\n\nRegister here: https://rutgers.zoom.us/meeting/register/PwTH5_DQSBG9b7XdzcrzCQ \n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
