HSLS completed its first Annual EIT Accessibility Report in February 2022 that outlined a proactive approach to accessibility that should reduce systemic access barriers. HSLS has established a library-wide workflow that prioritizes the accessibility of EIT from its creation or procurement. Of note, all HSLS YouTube content was captioned by July 2021, and additional video content created and shared, primarily through the Panopto platform, goes through a captioning workflow.<\/p>

Accessibility of HSLS instruction materials was summarized in the November 2021 article, Sharing Electronically and Accessibly in Library-Led Instruction<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

HSLS assisted a research initiative to evaluate and purchase medical reference books that feature skin of color<\/a>. Jordan Lamb, a medical student in the Clinical Scientist Training Program at Pitt Med, found that \u201cthe majority of images in all courses, not just for dermatology, were of white skin.\u201d Presentation of skin conditions (for example, psoriasis) can differ significantly on white skin (typically red patches) and on brown or black skin (typically purple patches). Lamb explained, \u201cA lack of representation of all skin colors leads to a knowledge gap for students. Physicians are also less confident with diagnosing skin disease presenting on brown or black skin.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

HSLS also licensed video content in the Bates\u2019 Visual Guide to Physical Examination in the new series, Communication and Interpersonal Skills, concentrating on the fundamental interpersonal and communication techniques often demonstrated in clinical encounters.
