Description
In this presentation, I will cover efforts to evaluate and enhance the digital accessibility of Iowa State University's Digital Repository. The motivation for this work is to comply with an institutional policy affecting public-facing web page content and online courses; the policy's timeline began in 2022 and asks staff to meet benchmarks leading up to full compliance by July 1, 2026. I will share strategies taken, challenges encountered, decisions taken, and brief details of conversations with stakeholders inside and outside the library. This lightning talk will be of interest to repository managers who wish to improve the accessibility of their repositories.
