Abstract:

Speakers Timothy Creagan, Senior Accessibility Specialist from the U.S. Access Board and Kelsey Flynn, Technical Information Specialist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, provide training on Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and methods for libraries to make information accessible. Section 508 requires Federal agencies to procure, develop, maintain, and use information and communication technology that is accessible to people with disabilities. Creagan and Flynn discuss the importance of accessible information and standards for meeting accessibility requirements. The presentation covers technology, content examples, creating accessible documents, screen readers, disability sensitivity, website design, accessibility aids, and training. This Transportation Librarians Roundtable was part of a multi-month series focusing on Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA), and the practical and professional applications of those values in our libraries and on behalf of those who we serve.
