About this event

  • 1 hour

Websites can pose a particular challenge to individuals with disabilities, especially if they require a variety of actions to explore or access information. Library websites require navigation through a variety of imagery, text, search functions, and authentication portals. Inaccessible web design, images without descriptive alternative text, or complex features can impede user success. This program explores the core principles of web accessibility and offers participants with insights to identify common barriers to usability, as well as some practical solutions to improve user experience.
