Quick Tips for Accessibility was originally conceived of as a 30-minute workshop series used as a modular training approach for learning and practicing accessibility at the University of Washington Libraries.
Over time, we have generated and curated a number of different resources for our library staff. In the spirit of working openly, we wish to share the materials that we’ve developed or have used as part of our training process.
