LACUNY Emerging Technologies Committee 8 months, 3 weeks agoThis is an interesting idea! Thanks for getting this going, Junior!
At Kingsborough, we’ve been doing usability testing with some home-grown testing tools. The goal is that the data we gather will move the conversation about usability and accessibility forward at our campus.
Anyhow, if this is of interest, I would be glad to…[Read more]

LACUNY Emerging Technologies Committee 8 months, 3 weeks agoGreat idea, Junior! I’m into it.
Yes, I’ve had to do the same thing, essentially making sure that the library website doesn’t get red flags with the WAVE tool.
There have been an unusual number of accessibility events in the past year (or so it seems to me). So this topic is extra on-trend and could also benefit from specific perspectives.

LACUNY Emerging Technologies Committee 8 months, 3 weeks agoSince the theme of this year’s conference is Opening Access, I was thinking maybe we could do a presentation on accessibility/usability?
