Building a resilient and permanent culture of digital accessibility at a library can be challenging and often begins with only a handful of staff doing accessibility work. But how can accessibility work expand beyond just a few staff to the entire library? At the University of Michigan Library, we've found that sharing and embedding accessibility knowledge, values, champions, and expertise across the entire library can be accelerated through a digital accessibility service model. This session will detail how and why we created the U-M Library Digital Accessibility Team in 2017, discussing the services we provide to library staff--web accessibility evaluations on vendor products and internal projects, toolkits and templates for staff, outreach, and consultations--what we've learned over the last few years providing these services, and how this service model could be applied to other libraries.
