Contribute a Resource

Accessibility knowledge continues to evolve, and valuable resources may emerge from across UC ANR and the broader accessibility community.

If you have a resource, template, guide, or training material that may benefit others, consider sharing it with the Digital Accessibility team for evaluation and possible inclusion in the Resource Library.

Building a Culture of Accessibility

Resources are most effective when combined with training, practice, and ongoing learning.

By making accessibility knowledge easier to find and share, the Resource Library helps support a culture in which accessibility becomes part of everyday work across UC ANR.
