The Georgia Library Association Carterette Webinar Series presents
Making Your Library's Accessible Resources More Discoverable
Wednesday, March 23, 2022
2pm Eastern (11am Pacific | 12pm Mountain | 1pm Central)
Description: Captioned videos, large print books, audiobooks: your library has accessible resources, but can your users find them easily? MARC fields dedicated to more effectively conveying accessibility information were implemented in 2018, but not many catalogers are using them or even know that they exist! Join us as we talk through options for recording information about accessible resources in your library and discuss strategies for convincing vendors to display this vital information.
