In an evolving digital landscape, accessibility is essential not only to
meet regulatory requirements, but also to ensure inclusivity across
publishing and communication platforms. Join us for our eight-week training
series on Accessibility Essentials
<https://niso.org/events/accessibility-essentials-2025-niso-training-series>
to learn how you can comply with current and upcoming regulations and make
content more accessible to all.

This virtual training series will empower attendees with actionable
insights and practical guidance on accessibility compliance for
professionals in the information community. Attendees will come away with
an operational understanding of what it means to engage in accessible
publishing and methods to ensure their organizations are prepared to
achieve accessibility compliance. The course will cover upcoming regulatory
changes; accessibility standards and best practices; and human-centered web
design. From production to public relations, Accessibility Essentials will
be an invaluable resource for information practitioners, content or product
development experts, and scholarly communications professionals.
