Hello, ASERL Friends: I hope this finds everyone staying healthy and safe as we start to look into Fall and Winter. We are all juggling new roles and responsibilities, but I wanted to share an update on the workings of ASERL's Accessibility Interest Group. 1. We surveyed IG members earlier this year about desired interests / areas for program development, and asked respondents to indicate if they had time/interest in joining Working Groups to create the new programming. We have parsed those replies and have created six initial Working Groups: * Training & Professional Development (Jon Ezell, initial convener) * Campus Collaborations (Sara Belmont, initial convener) * Policy & Advocacy (Beth Ashmore, initial convener) * Library Instruction (Jon Ezell, initial convener) * Library Spaces (Beth Ashmore, initial convener) * Media & Captioning (Sara Belmont, initial convener) If you expressed interest in one of these topics, you will soon be hearing from the initial convener (noted above) with a Doodle poll to set up initial get-together calls, develop consensus on goals, and draft activity plans to attain those goals. 1. LAA Accessibility Awareness Webinars - In partnership with the Big Ten Academic Alliance, we are offering four webinars this Fall. They are available at no cost and are being recorded / posted under a Creative Commons license. * Library Accessibility Alliance webinar #1: An Introduction to Disability - Sept 30. See recording at www.aserl.org/archive<http://www.aserl.org/archive> * Library Accessibility Alliance webinar #2: Disability Awareness - Use of physical spaces by persons with disabilities.
