How accessible is your website really? We'll talk about digital accessibility for our websites, how to test for accessibility, what the standards are for accessibility, and how accessible our databases actually are.

He is an award-winning librarian whose research revolves around disability and accessibility for library patrons and employees. His most recent work focuses on the educational and competency needs of library science graduate students and current library employees in regards to disability and accessibility in libraries.
