The Advocacy and Education subgroup focuses on providing resources, tools, and skills necessary for librarians, archivists, records managers, and other GLAM professionals to advocate for, as well as support accessibility within their organizations. This DAWG subgroup organizes events for presentations, demonstrations, discussions, and other learning activities for digital library practitioners working in areas relating to or intersecting with issues of accessibility and technology. Our focus is on pedagogy as advocacy, raising awareness and educating practitioners on emerging opportunities and barriers faced by disabled people, as well as ethical use of open source products, including assistive technologies.
