PDA Series: Accessibility Benefits Everyone

CARLI is pleased to host a live webinar presented by Tim Offenstein Accessibility Benefits Everyone on September 23, 1:00PM CST. 

Description: Are you losing patrons because your web site is too difficult for them to use? Are there unintentional roadblocks hidden in your web pages? This presentation will share ideas on how to improve things to benefit all of your audiences. Things like:

• Using good link text
• Effective alternative text for images - when to use ALT and when not to
• Information architecture - can your users easily find relevant information
• Simple usability tests to uncover hidden blind spots
• Page structure - does your site have it?
• Easy ways to test your site for accessibility
• How does your website sound? Using screen readers
