Universal Design for Learning: Accessibility at the Library

More and more libraries and educational institutions provide online content whether databases, archival collections, videos, and documents.

This series of 4 separate webinars provide some basic steps librarians can take to make their content accessible to all. Each session was recorded and is available to view.
