Goal: KSUL will demonstrate a good faith effort towards ADA Title II compliance by the April 24, 2026 deadline as it pertains to our digital footprint.

Objective 1: Form a working group to lead efforts to identify content and rally content owners to remediate as appropriate.

Strategies:

1. Recruit chair and members and identify leadership liaison.
   
   Tactics:
   • Review list of previous members of the library digital accessibility working group
   • Seek nominations (including self-nominations) for chair
   • Dean’s Leadership team will appoint liaison
      
2. Identify the library’s digital assets that will be covered by the compliance requirements.
   
   Tactics:
   • Co-chairs and Dean’s Leadership Liaison schedule meetings with individual departments to audit the content which they have ownership over
   • Identify immediate needs to address relative to the new requirements
   • Prioritize items in need first or sooner than others (e.g. Archives items don’t have to be remediated until point of need)
   • Document progress as needed
   • Follow-up with individual departments regarding progress
   • Schedule meetings with full digital accessibility working group as needed for broader issues 
      
3. Plan and/or identify training opportunities for technologies relevant to remediation work.
   
   Tactics:
   • Continuously watch for training opportunities around campus (i.e. from Equal Access, IT Training, Kent State Online, UCM) and share opportunities within UL
   • Plan and deliver targeted training for library specific needs if other training doesn’t address our needs
   • Hold in-person, open group working sessions to encourage folks to set aside time for this work, get hands-on assistance, and work collaboratively where appropriate.

Objective 2: Review and evaluate vendor content and their documentation (VPAT and license) for compliance.

Strategies:

1. Request appropriate documentation from vendors regarding their compliance efforts.
   
   Tactics:
   • At renewal with each vendor, request a VPAT for their delivery platform or website
   • Review license agreements for presence of language on accessible content and amend to add when lacking
   • Negotiate for accessible content or consider ending relationship when such content is not supplied

Objective 3: Publicly launch the library mobile app campus-wide in spring semester 2026 with the target of 1000 registered users by the end of the semester.

Strategies:

1. Review locally developed tools and systems to ensure compliance
   
   Tactics:
   • Analyze Site Improve reports to address both user interface and content issues on our websites
   • Leverage open-source tools to further evaluate our open-source platforms and improve towards standards
