Accessible by Design: How Are Georgia IRs Responding to the New Digital Accessibility Requirements?

The DOJ’s final regulations under ADA Title II establish enforceable digital accessibility standards requiring colleges and universities to create accessible websites, mobile applications, and digital content, and the deadline is here! This panel brings together institutional repository (IR) managers from across Georgia to discuss how their institutions are preparing for compliance, what it means for their IRs, and what it means for IRs statewide. Panelists will share their experiences updating repository policies, auditing collections, addressing legacy content, and building accessibility into repository workflows. Whether you are early in your planning or well into remediation, this session offers peer perspectives and actionable takeaways for the Georgia IR community.
