Video content is an increasingly important part of library marketing, outreach, instruction, and more. In order for this content to be inclusive for all patrons, it is vital that it be made accessible. However, large quantities of video content are still shared without adequate accessibility features, such as captions, transcriptions, audio descriptions, sign language interpretation, and accessible media players. This issue of Library Technology Reports (vol. 57, no. 3) will help librarians to understand these various accessibility features and how they are used. It will also give them the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure that the videos they share, create, and purchase for their collections are accessible to all patrons.

Chapter 3—Transcripts
Chapter 4—Audio Descriptions

"Spina has written extensively on topics related to accessibility and is well-suited to take on the issue of video accessibility in this report ... Overall, this is a brief but highly informative and useful work that will assist librarians with managing this increasingly important type of library resource. This book would be appropriate for professional collections in all types of libraries."
