Abstract

Accessibility is mission-critical to successful use of e-resources. This mission incorporates an accessibility-first approach into the e-resource lifecycle. The session will cover digital accessibility requirements in procurement and contract processes, how to review and validate a vendor’s VPAT, how to advocate for accessibility improvements, and how to document this work.
