After years of prepping and months of writing and editing, I finally published my first article!
The article is focused on accessibility and assumes that you are a web developer or can understand web development to at least an intermediate level. The idea was to fill a bit of a gap since so many accessibility guides focus on the most basic, usually content bits, and we wanted to go a step further.
Published July 18, 2017 in Issue 37 of the Code4Lib Journal, authored by myself and Michael Schofield: A Practical Starter Guide on Developing Accessible Websites.
Yay!
In truth you have been “publishing” a lot of good articles on your blog for sometime, but I get the distinction. Congratulations! Good article. There are always trade-offs to think about and you have highlighted what those are and how they might affect the library community specifically.
Thanks! And yes, publishing in a journal is definitely different, with a more vigorous process and a lot more editing involved.
