In April, the Department of Justice (DOJ) published a final rule under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to ensure the accessibility of web content and mobile applications (apps) for people with disabilities. This final rule clarifies the obligations of state and local governments to make their websites and mobile apps accessible to people with disabilities.
This new rule applies to a majority of libraries, including the 85% of libraries that are state or local government entities, as well as public school and public college libraries, state libraries, and special libraries that are state or local government entities. In this webinar, the Department of Justice (DOJ) will provide an overview of the new requirements under the final rule, exceptions, compliance deadlines, and answer pre-submitted questions.
