The OCUL Accessibility Community invites you to join our next Virtual Huddle, on the topic of Institutional Repositories.
Given the forthcoming AODA accessibility standards deadline of January 1, 2020 for multi-media/digital resources offered by educational libraries, Ontario libraries are currently reviewing library platforms, digital objects and services such as Institutional Repositories which many institutions host.
This Virtual Huddle will be facilitated by Katya Pereyaslavska, Accessibility Librarian, Scholars Portal, and feature a guest speaker, Mariya Maistrovskaya, who will share a review she has lead of the University of Toronto Libraries Institutional Repository raising accessibility concerns and challenges along the way.
Please note that this session will be recorded. Previous recordings from the Huddle Series can be accessed through links below or through the OCUL Webinar Archive.
