Georgia tech library will conduct a forum to address academic library accessibility after the title II implementation deadline

The Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded Georgia TECH Research Corp $390,490 on September 1, 2026, under the National Leadership Grants program (CFDA 45.312) to conduct a forum addressing academic library accessibility following the Title II implementation deadline.

Georgia Tech Library will deliver a 75-page sustaining compliance playbook; an openly accessible digital repository collection housing recordings from conference presentations; and a moderated community-of-practice listserv designed to extend adoption and shared learning beyond the convening event. The forum will emphasize two complementary lenses: internal operations and implementation (workflows, governance, and responsible artificial intelligence-assisted remediation) and external ecosystems and accountability (campus partnerships, vendor relations, and user-facing impacts). Partner organizations will identify experts for inclusion, serve as promotion and editorial partners in the playbook, and seed the community of practice.

Performance occurs in Atlanta, Georgia, with completion targeted for August 31, 2027. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
