[Commlist] CFP: Accessibility in Elit "Unconference"

*Join us at the ELO UnConference, Access Works on Jan 18-29, 2024!

*

This two-day virtual event focuses on informal interactive discussions 
and workshops aimed at finding ways to extend access to electronic 
literature for all.  An UnConference provides a relaxed atmosphere to 
delve into issues. This UnConference will be from 18 - 19 2024 with 
events across all time zones, so come and have fun when you are awake! 
Register now! tinyurl.com/ELOUnConReg

Electronic literature uses games, images, videos, sounds, links, 
navigation, etc. as an essential part of the work. What can we do to 
make these works more accessible: financially, technologically, 
physically, internationally?  Get the details at
