Accessibility and the Penn State University Libraries

The Penn State University Libraries has spent the last year on an intensive web accessibility remediation process, aimed at making our online presence accessible to all library users. Our team has developed and implemented a plan to bring the libraries' site and applications into compliance with the WCAG 2.0 AA standards and to sustain the level of accessibility that we have achieved. We will talk about strategies for achieving compliance and maintaining these efforts in the long term and how effective communication can bring about the necessary culture shift to ensure that accessibility becomes an integral part of every project.
