All right, let’s learn some solutions for COVID influxes tech issues! #atia2021

Good design enables, bad design disables! Be purposeful and design well. #atia2021

National center on accessible educational materials: aem.cast.org First stop for best practices and ideas and learning. Free online courses to make materials acrssie to all, laws and regulations, webinars, etc. #atia2021

POUR your web content: perceivable, operable, understandable, robust. Nice. #atia2021

Luis adds that POUR refers to the four foundational principles of the web content accessibility guidelines from the work wide web consortium. #atia2021

SLIDE your slides! Empathy drives design—I love that. #atia2021

Make sure your links have bitlys included for people printing out the materials! They need to know where to go. Don’t just use alt image texts, describe images to students: eyes may be tired, connections may be poor. It helps everyone. #atia2021

Allow students to phone in! I like that option for programs, reminding patrons it’s an option. #atia2021

Packets are great, but ensure that students are receiving the same information as peers better able to access online learning are. #atia2021

We’ve started having conversations about this at the library. What will we continue virtually when it’s safe to reopen fully? What tools can we use to support our programming? #atia2021
