Accessibility Regulations Driving a Better E-Book User Experience for All March 3, 1:40 PM - 2:30 PM Zlotnik 1/2 (M1) About the Session Accessibility regulations (notably the European Accessibility Act and ADA Title II update) impact e-book acquisition, management, and access.

Learn more from libraries and EBSCO about our journeys.

Add strategies to their toolkit for championing accessibility internally with institutional partners, leadership, and/or publishers and vendors.
