<p>Hello,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Someone just shared this resource with me on library accessibility. What I find particularly interesting is the VPAT repository (<a href="http://uniaccessig.org/lua/vpat-repository/" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk681203" previewremoved="true">http://uniaccessig.org/lua/vpat-repository/</a>). </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In my Accessibility 101 training I have an extra credit assignment where participants track down the VPATs for the software that they use. I could start building a list from their submissions and invite others to contribute if you all would be interested.
I wouldn't want to make it public until we can get vendor permission - as they have on the LUA site. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This could be a nice way to avoid duplicating some of the effort and tracking what faculty are using (as that seems to be a challenge in some ways). <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Is this something any of you would be interested in participating in? I'm
happy to get it started and contribute, but would prefer to not be alone in the effort. I would need assistance verifying that we have the most up to date VPAT and vendor approval to publish the list. </span></p>
