Workshop: Navigating for Accessibility In-Person / Online
How do major databases interact with accessibility tools? Is there a difference between EPUB and PDF? Which one should I be using? What is digital rights management and how can it impact assistive technology?
Researchers at Gottesman Libraries have access to a robust collection of online resources. Navigating the features as well as the gaps in accessibility of these resources can be a challenge. This workshop will explain how and why assistive technologies function differently between our many databases. We will become familiar with digital rights management, EPUB and PDF file formats, and available resources within the Gottesman Libraries and Teachers College.
Presenter: Abby McGuire, Library Specialist for Circulation and User Experience
Where: 101 Russell / Online
