Abstract

Accessibility is a journey not a destination, especially for e-resources. This presentation covers a variety of ways you can begin your e-resource accessibility journey including using Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPAT), the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), accessibility tools, and licensing terms. Accessible e-resources benefit everyone; libraries, publishers, and authors.
