Practical Applications to Improve the Accessibility of Your Website - NISO Online
Websites can pose a particular challenge to individuals with disabilities, especially if they require a variety of actions to explore or access information. Library websites require navigation through a variety of imagery, text, search functions, and authentication portals. Inaccessible web design, images without descriptive alternative text, or complex features can impede user success. This program explores the core principles of web accessibility and offers participants with insights to identify common barriers to usability, as well as some practical solutions to improve user experience.
Confirmed speakers include Stacy Scott, Head of Accessibility, Taylor & Francis Group and Aj Ahmed, Accessibility Trainer, AAT Solutions.
We are grateful to Stacy Scott for serving as a NISO support and advisor in this program. Kimberly Gladfelter Graham, Education Program Manager & DEIA Advocate for NISO will serve as the program facilitator.
Register here in LibCal, and the Zoom link will be sent in your event reminder email closer to the event date/time.

Additional Information:
NISO assumes organizations register as a group. The model assumes that an unlimited number of staff will be watching the live broadcast in a single location, but also includes access to an archived recording of the event for those who may have timing conflicts.
Educational program contacts and registrants receive sign-on instructions via email three business days prior to the virtual event. If you have not received your instructions by the day before an event, please contact NISO headquarters for assistance via email (nisohq@niso.org).
Links to the archived recording of the broadcast are distributed to registrants 24-48 business hours following the close of the live event. Access to that recording is intended for internal use of fellow staff at the registrant’s organization or institution. Shared resources are posted to the NISO event page.
Broadcast Platform:
NISO uses the Zoom platform for purposes of broadcasting our live events. Zoom provides apps for a variety of computing devices (tablets, laptops, etc.) To view the broadcast, you will need a device that supports the Zoom app. Attendees may also choose to listen just to audio on their phones. Sign-on credentials include the necessary dial-in numbers, if that is your preference. Once notified of their availability, recordings may be downloaded from the Zoom platform to your machine for local viewing.
