Web Accessibility and Community
When planning this CALL Bulletin issue, the committee discussed “community” as a potential theme, one that resonates with many aspects of our work in law libraries as well as our participation together as CALL. If you spend time on web accessibility, “community” might seem like a synonym for “audience,” and to a certain extent, it should be: after all, we want to make our online presence accessible so that our users can benefit. But “community” is not just the “why” for accessibility; it’s also part of the “how.” We can best improve web accessibility by making the most of our communities, both communities of practice and the communities our law libraries serve.

President’s Message
Hello, CALL, and happy spring!
I recently met with a UIC faculty member from outside of the law school to discuss his research and how he might find law review articles related to a couple of early 20th century cases. It was a nice opportunity to connect with someone outside of the law school, hear about some fascinating research, and share some resources that we law librarians might take for granted but would be rather helpful and otherwise unfamiliar to someone who’s new to legal research.
