I didn’t realize how many of the vendors we deal with already have VPATs in place. – Thanks! Jean From: "Montavon-Green, Jennifer" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2019 14:22:42 +0000 Jean, We’ve been pushing for accessibility standards and request VPATs in recent license negotiations. We’re not a Big Ten school, but the Big Ten Academic Alliance has standardized accessibility licensing language that is really good. We request vendors include it in the license. Vendors may request minor adjustments to the language but it’s a good place to start, and we will negotiate those changes if their terms are still acceptable. https://www.btaa.org/library/accessibility/library-e-resource-accessibility---standardized-license-language Jen Montavon-Green Electronic Resources Manager 2-21A Young Library University of Kentucky Lexington, KY 40506-0456 (859) 218-1234 [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Pronouns │ she/her/hers From: "Sibley, Jean J" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2019 14:08:23 +0000 Hi all, I am on a committee that is looking into the accessibility of our e-resources. I am interested in hearing if any of you are actively incorporating accessibility standards in your e-resource licensing and procurement – such as accessibility statements in the license or requesting a VPAT from the vendor. Much appreciate any insight you can provide! Best, Jean Jean Sibley *pronouns: she/her/hers* Electronic Resources & Serials Librarian W&M Libraries | William & Mary [log in to unmask] 757-221-3103
