Is your library interested in making your resources accessible to all patrons? Then join us for this informative discussion of the benefits of EEAAPs. The pandemic helped to emphasize how important online access to resources are to users who have no other way of obtaining library materials.
However, materials must be accessible for all users, including those with disabilities. EEAAPs (Equally Effective Alternate Access Plans) are an effective means of ensuring that there are alternative procedures in plan that will enable library users with physical and visual disabilities to access materials.
