Description

We often unknowingly (or knowingly) build content and interfaces for ourselves, which may not fit the diverse and ever-changing needs of our users. The University of Minnesota Libraries web development team incorporates the universal design principles of inclusivity, accessibility, and awesomeness, and stays accountable with regular usability testing. We'll tell you how we do it, and why you should too. Expect to go away from this session with: * your mind totally blown; * strategies for implementation with access to the Libraries’ templates; * and insight for why donuts need to be in your budget.
