Bailey White: 2023 Junior Fellows Program Display Day

The Year of Keyboard Accessibility Program is an initiative by the Office of the Chief Information Officer's (OCIO) Digital Accessibility Team. It is an initiative to raise awareness at the Library of Congress about how to create accessible experiences. It focuses on the importance of the keyboard in supporting individuals with motor, visual, and cognitive disabilities. Junior Fellows Bailey White and Easton Brundage collaborated on several projects. They created staff resources, wrote accessibility tips for the OCIO's weekly newsletter, and designed activities for the Year of Keyboard Accessibility homepage.Bailey contributed to this initiative in different ways. She created and wrote sections of a guide that introduces different types of assistive technology. This guide educates staff about the different ways that people interact with digital content and the importance of creating accessible web pages. She also co-wrote several accessibility tips for the weekly newsletter. One tip explained the importance of CamelCase and hashtag accessibility. Bailey also drafted an activity that explains the importance of accessible structure and reading order within web pages. These resources created for the Year of Keyboard Accessibility provide guidance and support to staff. They raise awareness of the importance of creating accessible digital content. Despite the short time period of the internship, the resources created by Bailey and Easton will live on within the Digital Accessibility Team's Intranet site and will assist staff for years to come.
