Good afternoon!



Beginning *Monday, August 1, 2016*, the Association of Specialized and
Cooperative Library Agencies (ASCLA) will offer a *four-week course* on
creating and synchronizing *captions for library instructional videos
<http://www.ala.org/ascla/asclaevents/onlinelearning/onlinelearning/captioning>*
for
patrons who are deaf or suffer from hearing impairments.



Retired librarian and longtime universal access advocate, Kate Todd, will
introduce participants to some free tools to use for composing useful and
meaningful captions, script preparation and video creation. Participants
will be able to discuss usefulness and importance of providing this type of
access to instructional videos to patrons who are deaf or hearing impaired.



Librarians and library staff in public, school, academic and/or special
libraries will benefit from this course, which supports ASCLA’s mission for
libraries serving special populations, including users with disabilities.
More information on this course can be found *here
<http://www.ala.org/ascla/asclaevents/onlinelearning/onlinelearning/captioning>*
.



Registration costs are $130 for ASCLA members; $175 for ALA members; $210
for non-ALA members; $100 for student members and retired members. *You
can register here

On *Tuesday, August 9, 11AM CT*, the Association of Specialized and
Cooperative Library Agencies (ASCLA) will be hosting a *webinar* on *serving
library patrons with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD
<http://www.ala.org/ascla/serving-library-patrons-autism-disorder>)* as a
companion to the Project PALS <https://pals.cci.fsu.edu/> (Panhandle Autism
Library Services) online trainings.



The webinar will be taught by Dr. Amelia Anderson, an expert of educating
library professionals on serving patrons with ASD, online communication of
people with ASD and students with ASD in academia.



Concluding the webinar, participants will better understand the
characteristics and behaviors of a person with ASD in the library; make
adjustments and recommendations to their own institution on how to be more
inclusive and welcoming; and to provide ASD patrons opportunities for
engagement in the library.



Librarians and library staff in public, school, academic and/or special
libraries will benefit from this course, which supports ASCLA’s mission for
