Last April, the regulations for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) were updated to include specific requirements about how to ensure that web content and mobile applications are accessible to people with disabilities. These requirements apply to state and local governments, including libraries*. To help libraries get up to speed with these requirements Sarah McFadden, Senior Librarian in the NYS Library’s Digital Services Unit at the NYS Division of Library Development (DLD), will be providing a series of online workshops for member libraries on web accessibility.
Sarah McFadden works to support accessible content creation for the New York State Library’s website and other online platforms.
