A few weeks ago, Melissa Fortson Green talked with our group about Universal Design for Library Instruction. Melissa is a librarian here at UA, and one of her fields of interest is library accessibility. I feel it is very important for new instruction librarians to consider\u00a0accessibility\u00a0from the very beginning, because old habits die hard, and once you develop inaccessible habits it’s harder to reverse than one might think!<\/p>\n
Information from Melissa’s talk can be found on her blog<\/a>, and I encourage you to review it, because she was very thorough. \u00a0Melissa will be returning to talk to us a second time at the end of November, this time bringing us information about accessibility and instructional technology. Meanwhile, Karlie, Alex and Louise have been working on UD active learning exercises, which we will review in our weekly meetings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A few weeks ago, Melissa Fortson Green talked with our group about Universal Design for Library Instruction.
