GLA-TSIG / Carterette Series: “Licensing for Accessibility: Ask Me Anything”
-
The Georgia Library Association’s Technical Services Interest Group is partnering with the Carterette Series Webinars to host “Licensing for Accessibility: Ask Me Anything.”
All ASERL members are welcome to attend!
At the end of 2022, the E-Resources Management Working Group of the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN) published a guide to negotiating accessibility with vendors. This guide is meant to serve as a reference tool for library staff involved in licensing and e-resources management as they advocate for strong accessibility assurances in their formal contracts with service and content providers. In the process of creating the guide, the working group members were reminded of the incredible value of asking questions, having discussions, and sharing experiences when it comes to license negotiation. With that in mind, please join us at this Ask Me Anything session to discuss licensing and accessibility with a larger community. We’ll give a brief presentation on the background of the project and then open up the room to questions.
Already know what you want to ask? Please fill out this online form, and we’ll respond during the session.
Note: This session will not be recorded. Want to participate? You’ll need to attend the live session.
