SUMMARY:ETD in MS Word Accessibility Workshop
DESCRIPTION:University of Houston Libraries will be hosting six ETD in MS 
 Word Accessibility Training Workshops in Spring 2026 at the Digital 
 Research Commons (DRC)\, located on the second floor of MD Anderson Library 
 (Brown Wing\, Room 266-C).\n\nThese workshops are open to all UH graduate 
 students and are being offered in response to the U.S. Department of 
 Justice’s Final Rule on Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act\, 
 published in the Federal Register on April 24\, 2024. This workshop will 
 teach the best ways to make Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) 
 created in MS Word accessible to everyone. You will learn how to structure 
 documents so that they can be read by screen readers and meet required 
 accessibility standards.\n\nFor each session\, the first hour covers the 
 main ideas about accessibility elements and best practices in ETDs. This 
 includes using the styles and headings\, adding alt-text and captions to 
 images\, making tables and links easy to use\, using colors and contrast in 
 the right way\, and using Word's Accessibility Checker.\n\nIn the second 
 hour\, you will work on your own documents on your own\, but you can get 
 help if you need it.\n\nRegistration: Please register to select your 
 preferred session.\n\nIf you have any questions\, please contact Xiao 
 Zeng\, Open Publishing Librarian\, at xzeng4@uh.edu.
