Good faith, not perfect files: How four institutions are rethinking IR accessibility
About
Title II deadlines have every institutional repository team asking the same question: how fast can we fix our files?
Five IR leaders --from the University of Nebraska-Omaha, University of Memphis, Purdue University, and the University of Montana-- will share why that's the wrong question, and what they're building instead.
One speaker calls it a "good faith" approach: documentation that shows meaningful progress rather than chasing an impossible standard of perfection.
Others are using accessibility metadata, cross-departmental ownership models, and legal alignment strategies to spread the work beyond the library alone.
Join this conversation to hear what a defensible, sustainable accessibility process looks like in practice and where each institution still has work to do.
