Abstract
Abstract Ensuring access to library technology for disabled users and staff is essential for libraries. However, recent surveys reveal that many are still struggling to develop the infrastructure required to accomplish this. The author’s own research in making a digital scholarship space and its technology inclusive of disabled patrons will act as a case study and be the basis for a five-step framework for implementing accessibility workflows and practices. The results of recent surveys, an overview of disability legislation, a dialogue around challenges with vendors, and other logistical factors related to supporting accessible technology, will also be discussed.
期刊介绍：
College & Undergraduate Libraries enables libraries serving primarily undergraduate students to enhance the range of services, resources, and facilities offered to their constituents while also contributing to staff professional development. Whether focusing on public services, technical services, management, or technology, the journal highlights the fact that undergraduate libraries must collaborate with agencies both on and off campus in order to survive and thrive. In addition to numerous columns on current topics, typical contents include research-based articles, case studies, reports of best practices, an occasional literature review or product review, and opinion pieces.
