  1.  The Orbis Cascade Alliance is launching their Accessibility Speaker Series<https://www.orbiscascade.org/about/events/meetings/a11y-speakers/> early next month:

As compliance dates for the updated federal web content accessibility regulations (ADA Title II and HHS Section 504) approach, library and archives workers have expressed interests and needs for more defined support to strengthen preparations in targeted library functional areas.

All webinars are open and free to Alliance members<https://www.orbiscascade.org/about/members/>, affiliate participants<https://www.orbiscascade.org/about/affiliate-participants/>, and staff at academic libraries in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington. This includes all of you in Oregon academic libraries!
