Description of activity
The subject area of the activity was about libraries serving users with print disabilities. The activity was a one hour talk with Q &A session. It was organized by The Hong Kong Library Association. Mr. Hiroshi Kawamura was the presenter. The target audience was library professional.
Reflection of activity
The objective of the talk was to bring out the importance of equal access via presenting some assistive technology to audiences. I have attended the talk because I wanted to know how to provide access to users with print disabilities. After attending the talk, I understood providing accessible information to users with print disabilities is one of our responsivities as librarians. Therefore, I will make suggestion to Library Committees in my workplace about providing assistive technology such as “text to speech” to church members with print disabilities. Besides, the talk gave me new knowledge to my studies such as WIPO Marrakesh Treaty.
