Towards Inclusive Accessibility in Libraries (TIAL)
Join us for the inaugural series of Towards Inclusive Accessibility in Libraries (TIAL) with Dr. Clayton Copeland.
Developing an Accessibility Lens with Dr. Clayton Copeland

NEW DATE!
Wednesday, January 8 | 10-11:30 am
Register for Developing an Accessibility Lens<https://cslib.libcal.com/event/13360566>
This session offers an in-depth discussion of disability as a social construct and how social constructivism can - both positively and negatively - inform thinking and human responses to differences (i.e. disabilities or differing abilities) in society. Participants will be invited to explore (either privately or by sharing with the group) how they feel about working with people with disabilities. They may share what they feel may be their strengths in terms of their prior knowledge and skillsets in fostering inclusive libraries, as well what they feel may be their greatest needs/areas of opportunity.
Online resources will be provided and there will be opportunities for Q&A and discussion.
**If you would like to submit a question anonymously before or during the TIAL workshop, please submit them using the TIAL Questionnaire<https://ctstatelibrary.libwizard.com/f/TIAL_questionnaire>.

Much of her research focuses upon equity of access to information for people with disabilities. Copeland also pursues research interests in universal design and Universal Design for Learning, literacy, facilities planning, technology, and materials and programming for children and young adults. She manages the Linda Lucas Walling Collection for Disabled Children and recently co-authored and edited Disabilities and the Library: Fostering Equity for Patrons and Staff with Differing Abilities.
