• Abstract:
  In this Transportation Librarians Roundtable, Enid White provides tips on how to manage 508 compliance within programs and libraries. Section 508 applies to the development, procedure, maintenance, and use of documents and programs. It’s set up to assist those without vision, with limited vision, without perception of color, tunnel vision, cataracts, dyslexia, with limited language, cognitive, and learning disabilities. Programs cannot ask to be exempt from 508 compliance because you can’t ask stakeholders to waive their rights to having a 508 compliant document or shift the burden to stakeholders. White describes steps to manage 508 compliance, create accessibility statements, provide funding to ensure compliance, and types of documents which should be 508 compliant.
