NNLM offers funding for projects that improve access to health information, increase engagement with research and data, expand professional knowledge, and promote awareness and the use of NLM resources. Part of the commitment to access includes making materials accessible to those who use screen reader assistive technology.
This 90-minute, hands-on class will cover how to make documents created in Word and PowerPoint accessible to those who use screen reader technology. During the class, we'll work on sample files together. Sample files (Word and PowerPoint) will be provided to registrants prior to the class date.
This class addresses the NNLM initiative of bridging the digital divide by facilitating access to health information.
