Serials Review is planning a special issue on accessibility in acquisitions
and discovery. This issue will focus on the efforts technical services
librarians take to advocate and improve the accessibility of resources, trends
in accessibility awareness including improvements and setbacks, and the
collaborative projects from libraries, publishers, vendors, and consortia that
are moving the industry forward.
Potential topics for this issue include the following:
- Techniques for accessibility advocacy with vendors
- Effective license negotiations on accessibility issues
- Environmental scans of electronic resources for accessibility gaps
- Managing accessibility review of electronic collections
- Best practices for making library-produced digital archives and repositories
accessible
- Consortial efforts to advocate for accessibility in electronic resources
- Accessibility issues in purchasing and renewal decision-making
- In-house projects that improve accessibility to core library tools like
catalogs, discovery layers and library websites
If you have interest in contributing an article for this special issue, please
contact Maria Collins, editor of Serials Review (mdcollin_at_ncsu.edu) or submit
your paper for review through the Taylor & Francis web site
(http://www.editorialmanager.com/serrev/).
The deadline for proposals is December 1st. The deadline for final manuscript
submissions will be February 1, 2020.
Thanks for your consideration!
