[Athen] EASI Free Webinar: Accessibility of Electronic Information Databases Used by Libraries

[Prof Norm Coombs]

	EASI Free Webinar: Accessibility of Electronic Information Databases 
Used by Libraries
	
Presenter: Axel Schmetzke, University of Wisconsin Steven's Point Library
January 21 at 11 Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 Central and 2 PM Eastern

Axel Schmetzke presents the findings of his recent research, through 
which he sought to answer the following question: To which extent do 
academic librarians consider, or are encouraged to consider, 
accessibility when selecting electronic information resources for 
purchase, subscription or licensing? The webinar will conclude with a 
discussion of best practices and strategies for improvement.
Librarians need to find work-arounds for patrons using poorly 
accessible databases. More important is the need to pressure 
commercial databases to provide accessible content.
