| Making Your Library Accessible Webex |

City: N/A |

Special Webex Presentations - "Making Your Library Accessible"
The issue of accessibility to library services has become a hot topic since the introduction of new accessibility laws in Ontario. Many Ontario libraries are now compliant with the new government requirements around accessibility but some are still only partly compliant or are non compliant with respect to their abilities to provide documentation in alternative formats.
This WebEx Presentation is an online version of Aroga's panel titled "Creating the Accessible Library" and will fully detail many of the options available to Libraries that will enable them to become compliant with these new government requirements.
Thursday, August 12th, 2010 - 10:30AM PST (1:30PM EST)
