Launching Towards Inclusive Accessibility in Libraries (TIAL) with Dr. Clayton Copeland Join us as we kick off our newest initiative, Towards Inclusive Accessibility in Libraries (TIAL), with a three-part series with Dr. Clayton Copeland. Using Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility Solutions (IDEAS) to Foster a Welcoming Library
Wednesday, November 6 | 10-11:30 am Libraries have an opportunity—and a responsibility—to be welcoming, inclusive, and accessible to everyone in their communities. Through principles of universal design and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), libraries
can create and enhance access and accessibility for all patrons, including the one in four Americans who are labeled as having disabilities. This webinar will provide a framework to bring IDEAS (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility Solutions) to libraries and to the communities they serve. Upon successful completion of the webinar, participants should be able to:
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

Dr. Clayton A. Copeland is faculty and director of the Laboratory for Leadership in Equity of Access and Diversity (LLEAD) at the University of South Carolina’s School of Information Science. 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. Recording & Slides:
The presentation portion of this program is being recorded and will only be shared with registrants. The slides will not be shared. Resources shared will be made available on the Towards
