Diversity, Access, and Accessibility (Technical)

In this technical webinar, LEMDO Director Janelle Jenstad will give a talk on “Endings Compliance, Open Access, and Equity,” explaining how LEMDO creates Endings-compliant anthologies and editions for maximum digital sustainability, archivability, and longevity.

Navarra Houldin (LEMDO Project Manager and expert in EDI and Accessibility) will then talk about “Making Editions Accessible.” Building on the DRE Editorial Guidelines’ question “Who are you editing for?” Navarra will do a positionality exercise to help editors identify their own subject position with respect to the target audience of a LEMDO edition. The session will end with a quick overview of how to write alt text and use plain language.

Anthology leads, current editors, prospective editors, and LEMDO-curious students and scholars are very welcome!
