The U-M Library and Disability Equity Office are partnering to offer an engaging session focused on library resources and digital accessibility. Designed for faculty, instructional staff, GSIs, and digital accessibility specialists, this session will explore how to identify, access, and share accessible versions of materials available through U-M Library collections.
Participants will gain practical guidance on using proxied catalog links, linking to content correctly, requesting materials not currently available in library collections, and accessing services that support the creation of alternative formats for disability-related access needs. We’ll also discuss strategies for navigating more complex situations, such as linking to catalog pages with multiple listed items or working with materials that have limited checkout availability.
In addition, the session will highlight the Library’s ongoing efforts to improve the digital accessibility of U-M collections. Participants will leave with helpful reference resources, practical next steps, and an opportunity to ask questions during a dedicated Q&A.
