Register for the Library Technology Accessibility Workshop
The Colorado Alliance of Research in collaboration with member libraries is holding an in-person Library Technology Accessibility Workshop on Tuesday, February 18, 2025 at the University of Denver Libraries, Anderson Academic Commons. This workshop will cover a variety of topics on digital accessibility such as creating accessible MS Word and PowerPoint documents, common web accessibility problems, current legislation, and accessibility in library contracts.
Since the workshop includes some hands-on elements, the program will only be held in-person with no virtual option. Participants should bring their own laptop with Microsoft Office products which will be used as examples in the program. Food will be provided.
This program will be of general interest to anyone who is involved with broader accessibility issues for your work. Colorado has new accessibility requirements (HB 21-1110) for all state agencies (including public universities) which work in concert with Federal Title II accessibility rules.
Where: Anderson Academic Commons, Room 290, University of Denver, 2150 E Evans Ave Denver, CO 80208. In-person only.
When: Tuesday, February 18, 2025. 8:30am-4:15pm
