Quick Summary
Join us on January 22 for a statewide conversation about the upcoming federal accessibility regulations. We will discuss how these changes impact electronic delivery and how libraries are planning for compliance.
If you are an interlibrary loan (ILL) practitioner, supervisor, or director, we invite you to join a critical statewide conversation on how the approaching deadline for new ADA Title II regulations affects resource sharing.
Why this matters now
By April 24, 2026, local governments with populations over 50,000 must ensure web content and mobile apps meet WCAG 2.1, Level AA standards. Smaller entities have until April 2027. These regulations apply to libraries of all typesā€”academic, public, school, and state agenciesā€”and specifically impact electronic interlibrary loans, such as scanned book chapters, journal articles, and born-digital materials.
What we will discuss
While some exceptions exist, the American Library Association advises that ILL materials may not fall under them. In this session, we will cover:
The current state of ADA Title II requirements specific to ILL.
How libraries across the state are responding (come prepared to share your institution's approach).
Minitex resource sharing plans and how we can collaborate toward compliance.
