For anyone presenting at Code4Lib, even just for a lightning talk, please take some time to make any presentation slides accessible.
First, the conference website provides suggestions on how to make your presentation visually accessible during the conference. These include guidance on choosing fonts, text size, colors and more: https://2020.code4lib.org/general-info/accessibility#presenters Moreover, if you share your slides to the Code4Lib repository, take a moment to do some accessibility fixes. Microsoft PowerPoint has a built-in accessibility checker that guides you on how to fix things: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Make-your-PowerPoint-presentations-accessible-to-people-with-disabilities-6f7772b2-2f33-4bd2-8ca7-dae3b2b3ef25 Google Slides has similar guidance. If you export to PowerPoint, do take the time to run the PPT accessibility checker if you can: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/6199477?hl=en Katherine (Kate) Deibel | PhD Inclusion & Accessibility Librarian Syracuse University Libraries T 315.443.7178 kndei...@syr.edu<mailto:kndei...@syr.edu> 222 Waverly Ave., Syracuse, NY 13244 Syracuse University
