Lets think about #Accessibility for #Librarians 💭

They should:

▶️ Make their resources accessible
▶️ Evidence accessibility of supplier content
▶️ Choose publishers, vendors & suppliers whose products meet accessibility standards
▶️ Provide alternative formats or support

Where do I get started with accessible eBooks?

COMMUNICATE 👉 what are you doing now, what do you plan to address in the future?

1️⃣ Determine whether legislation applies to the press
2️⃣ Complete a VPAT
3️⃣ Publish an accessibility statement
