(WCAG).<\/li><li>Proactively monitor inclusion status by running regular digital accessibility audits to identify areas that require updates or improvements.<\/li><li>Establish a culture of inclusion by normalizing accessibility as a standard practice and regularly gathering feedback from users with diverse needs.<\/li><li>Ensure library websites are compatible with common assistive technologies like screen readers.<\/li><li>Display an <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/news\/how-to-write-an-awesome-accessibility-statement\/\">accessibility statement<\/a> on each library website that clearly outlines current standards and future goals.<\/li><li>Advocate for accessible content by partnering with vendors and publishers who also prioritize accessibility.<\/li><li>Negotiate accessibility requirements in licensing agreements and push for compliance with WCAG standards.<\/li><li>Invest in software tools and solutions that make compliance achievable in the shortest possible timeframe.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
