Training: The committee discussed the training video “UX Foundations: Accessibility” (via Lynda.com), and decided the end product of the accessibility training would be a “Accessibility Style Guide,” a document for Administrative Council describing accessibility guidelines and best practices, and how libraries can incorporate them into web planning and design.
Glen suggested the committee’s next workshop be a presentation of the guide and training on the skills needed to follow these guidelines.
