Access and discovery are at the heart of what academic libraries do.  With the Americans with Disabilities Act Title II’s requirement that public entities’ web and mobile content needs to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, libraries and institutions are challenged by the volume of digital content that needs to be remediated and understanding expectations and requirements that impact existing operations in a resource-constrained time. Many libraries are working with partners in legal, disability offices, and IT to explore and find solutions that scale.

This panel will explore these challenges from multiple perspectives and hear about approaches and pathways being pursued at a few institutions. Attendees will be invited to share examples of efforts their organizations are undertaking and their questions to help everyone learn more about this complicated but important area.
