To make information literacy instruction accessible to our users, it is important to practice inclusive and equitable pedagogy wherever possible. One effective and manageable way is by incorporating the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) into one-shots, learning objects, asynchronous instruction, embedded instruction, general presentation skills, and more. This webinar outlines the principles of UDL and demonstrates how to translate them into tangible options for equitable information literacy instruction in a variety of modalities. 1 hour.

In this webinar, Clayton Copeland, editor of Disabilities and the Library: Fostering Equity for Patrons and Staff with Differing Abilities, provides a framework to equip libraries and librarians to make libraries accessible and welcoming for everyone. Participants will learn about the foundations of accessibility and universal design principles in communication, programming, services, and marketing. 1 hour.
