Revised Americans with Disabilties Act rules published in 2024 stipulate that all local and state governmental entities- including 85% of libraries nationwide - must make their websites, mobile apps, and online documents accessible by 2026 or 2027. This workship will delve into what libraries need to know about this rule: discuss strategies for prioritizing the workflowl share resources for staying focused on providing universal access to information; and provide hands-on experience addressing digital accessibility issues.
