USETDA 2023 will provide excellent educational opportunities for graduate school, disability and student services, offices of diversity, equity and inclusion, library, information technology and industry professionals and others who work with electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), institutional repositories, graduate students and scholarly communications.
The conference theme “Access and Accessibility: Exploring Equity and Inclusion in Digital Scholarship” will delve into accessibility as it impacts various aspects of the creation and dissemination of scholarly work. We will examine the present use and availability of ETDs and related initiatives. We will also explore new and emerging ETD practices, needs, and influences that impact administrative, graduate school, and library professionals.

At this session, we will be focusing on accessibility, which was a hot topic at our recent conference. Alison Haynes, ICT Compliance Coordinator at Kent State University, presented at USETDA 2022 and she has many ideas regarding how to think about accessibility and how we might implement it at our institutions. Much of the session will by Q&A and brainstorming, so make sure to bring your questions to the meeting! Whether you are just starting to think about accessibility or if you are finishing up your initial plans, there will be a lot that we all can learn at this session.
