12:40PM-12:50PM | TDL Governing Board investments towards Vireo | Courtney Mumma, TDL | Web accessibility remediation (DEIA) - TDL staff capacity and expertise is insufficient to conduct an adequate accessibility assessment and remediate code in the open source software central to our services. While the Board has set aside an initial $10,000 in the FY2021 budget year to contract for ADA review, this new initiative would invest additional one-time monies to fund the creation of Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs) for each service and any necessary software development for remediation of software applications to come into compliance with WCAG guidelines. As the open source home for Vireo, TDL is particularly keen to exhibit a strong commitment to its compliance with accessibility guidelines. Vireo Sustainability consultation - To host and develop Vireo, TDL currently relies on Executive staff and one Software Engineer working with an all-volunteer Steering Committee and very few additional community volunteer developers. There is a need for outside expertise to sustain the open source system and community, as well as expand the service usage and income base. This initiative would fund a contractor to conduct an assessment and make recommendations for long-term sustainability actions. While this initial investment is small, it might result in additional funding needs to enact recommendations of the consultant. Diversity Residency (DEIA) - Currently, no TDL programs explicitly support minoritized professionals and students. A TDL Diversity Residency, using the UT Libraries’ model of residency in partnership with the ACRL Diversity Alliance model, would allow TDL to hire a resident for three years to an entry-level equivalent position. Distinguishing it from the UTL residency and other programs, this residency would be focused on digital library work exclusively. The TDL resident would work in a cohort with other residents at UT Libraries.
