Saturday, March 15th, 1pm to 4pm in room 215, Adaptive Services, is the quarterly discussion group on screenreader-accessible apps for mobile devices, including Apple's iOs and other operating systems.  Experts are invited to share their experiences as part of the group discussion rather than as official presentations.  Past experts have include Mark Reumann, Zuhair Mahmoud, Scott Marshall, John Herzog, Don Barrett, Don Olson, and others.

Spring 2014 STTS discussions will center on new media and technology classes that are currently being taught in the Digital Commons space at the MLK library, and how to make them accessible.  Some of these courses include internet safety, blogging, podcasting, music production, audiovisual production, computer hardware and computer programming.  The Digital Commons http://www.dclibrary.org/digitalcommons , is the new computer lab and meeting space on the first floor of the MLK library, that houses new technologies like 3D printers and is aimed at encouraging creation and innovation, and includes courses taught by staff that include blogging, music production and computer programming.

Saturday Technology Training Sessions are held on the third Saturday of each month, from 1pm to 4pm in room 215, Adaptive Services Division of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library.  The library is located at 901 G Street, NW Washington DC 20001, diagonally across the street from the 9th street exit of the Gallery Place Chinatown Metro stop, or two blocks from the 11th and G exit of Metro Center.  There is no public parking at the MLK Library.

The Adaptive Technology Program provides adaptive technology workstations, training opportunities and events for library customers who need to use them in order to access library programs and services including online databases and the internet in general.  The workstations are located in the Adaptive Services Division, Room 215 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library.  Customers can call ahead and reserve two-hour sessions at either the computer workstations or at the CCTVs.
