Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Accessibility Compliance for Scholarly Publishers: Preparing for the EAA and ADA Title II. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.
In this newest installment of the HighWire Best Practice webinar series, industry experts from scholarly and educational publishing will provide insight and advice regarding the requirements of the EAA and ADA Title II. They will cover the measures publishers are taking to update both their frontlist workflows and their backlist content to make their books sufficiently accessible to comply with those requirements, including strategies for prioritization, dealing with image descriptions, and providing proper metadata. Our experts will discuss their accessibility efforts, both internally and with suppliers, to sufficiently conform to those two key regulations. The panelists will discuss common misconceptions; the roles of authors, editors, designers, and suppliers; and practical measures that can be taken in the short term while more thoroughgoing improvements to their workflows can be implemented in the longer term. There will be time for Q&A from the attendees, and all attendee questions will be answered, ideally in the webinar, and if not, by email afterwards.
