CHICAGO—Implementing web accessibility in libraries requires more than an educated site administrator. Managers need to be backed up with institutional changes to accessibility language in procurement policies and a budget to purchase necessary software. Lay leaders are needed to model accessibility in-house and trained staff are needed to create public-facing library communications. In 2014, the Library of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Education were the first agencies to enter into a web accessibility consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice. The webinar "Web Accessibility Beyond Best Intentions", being held Tuesday, May 25, will examine the policies and skills needed to implement and maintain an accessible digital footprint and the lessons learned by the the Library of Michigan during the implementation of the decree.
