MORE ILS Evaluation Product Demos (from this week’s TWAM email)
The MORE ILS Evaluation Task Force invites all MORE-member library staff to attend or view recordings of ILS product demos.

For details and links, please refer to the July 22 This Week at MORE (TWAM) email.
Events! New!
In-person workshops for website accessibility
The LEANWI team is working with system staff to offer hands-on, in-person workshops to tackle accessibility issues on websites. Bring a laptop and get ready to dive into new accessibility standards and how to apply them to your website. The workshops will start with a presentation with Erica, include a lunch break, and then end with an afternoon of hands-on work.
The workshops are being offered in multiple locations, and you don’t have to attend a workshop in your home system area. Pick one date and location to attend.
