Hi Lindsey,

I'm reaching out today to invite you another Accessibility Bridge! This time we are building a bridge across the Atlantic.

Please join us. We are meeting folks who walking in the same direction to make more accessible Primo VE/Alma experiences for users with disabilities.
The Primo VE accessibility menu: A case study from the Weizmann Institute of Science
[Screenshot of Primo VE landing page. A link labelled Accessibility has opened a menu of options, that include: increase font, high contrast, negative contrast.]
Developed at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, modified and integrated for Primo VE at the Weizmann Library, the accessibility menu for Primo VE can assist many people in making their Primo VE user experience more convenient and accessible. The tool lets end-users control color contrast and increase/decrease font size in the case where the website's owners have no access or permissions to make changes in the source code.



Presenter:
Anton Reznik, Systems Librarian, Weizmann Institute of Science

When:
Thursday, October 5, 2023, 9am Eastern

We recognize that many Indigenous Nations have longstanding relationships with the territories upon which York University campuses are located that precede the establishment of York University. York University acknowledges its presence on the traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations. The area known as Tkaronto has been care taken by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Huron-Wendat. It is now home to many First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities. We acknowledge the current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.
