<p>At institutions where knowledge and ideas are shared, libraries
should strive to make content accessible for all their users. Libraries
need to be prepared and understand the requirements that are needed to
meet the accessibility needs of patrons. This two-day virtual
preconference will offer attendees a holistic view on how the many parts
of an organization can work together to meet both the legal
requirements and the students’ requirements for success. Perspectives,
challenges, and recommendations will be shared to assist libraries in
providing equal opportunities for all their users.</p>
