<div dir="ltr">Hi Terry--<div><br></div><div>This is what I am working on with our website. One thing our state IT department recommended is to create an Archive page for older documents with verbiage at the top about how we will remediate on request.<br><a href="https://msla.maryland.gov/Pages/Press-Release-Archive.aspx">https://msla.maryland.gov/Pages/Press-Release-Archive.aspx</a></div><div><br></div><div>In this way, we are not pressured to remediate 100s of docs all at once. We are a new and small state agency so luckily we have not even had a decade to hoard digital docs on our website. For that, I am grateful. I am relying on Adobe Acrobat Pro for much of the pdf remediation.</div><div><br></div><div>I am also trying to create a new way of talking about librarianship that may be more accessible. We have way too much library lingo that is lost on a broader audience. I am thinking about alternative phrases for Staff Development, Library System, Circulation, etc. I hope the idea of plain language makes us better at telling our library stories but it definitely takes some work.</div><div><br></div><div>One doc at a time! Or something like that.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Mary</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 12, 2026 at 11:12 AM Blauvelt, Terry via lstac <<a href="mailto:lstac@omls.oregon.gov">lstac@omls.oregon.gov</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg6903239484720050856">

<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have a good plan of action or words of wisdom in getting to WCAG 2.2 AA/AAA? Even with the WAV extension to confirm our website, it seems like there is so much to be done with the individual documents. The more I look at it
the more monstrous it becomes. Seems like it will change how writing and language will be used going forward.<u></u><u></u></p>
