Embracing the "electronic" portion of ETDs includes increased scrutiny towards how these works are being consumed. With this comes the responsibility for works to be accessible while maintaining the integrity of the author's intent. As two graduate school professionals who are working to best accomodate creative ETDs while upholding formatting and accessibility standards, the presenters offer some insight into their experiences with both the nontraditional and the accessible. During their time together at Bowling Green State University Kim Fleshman, the school's Theses and Dissertations Coordinator, and Ericka Findley, her Graduate Asistant, worked to put together the university's standards for best practices in accessibility.  They also shared a passion that authros should be given the autonomy to present their work in less traditional formats. Fleshman continues to work on these topics at BGSU while Findley as moved on to being a full-time manuscript editor helping to usher in new accessibility requirements at the University of Utah.  This presentation will cover some of their initial efforts to bring forth accessibility standards and their continue findings on their separate journeys with some of the complexitities of working within the sometimes-challenging confines of Acrobat.  It will also contain their experiences and reserach into nontraditional works, including encounters with video content, transgenre composition, graphic novels, and more. The two look at the difficulty, and the necessity, of implementing high standards for all of our published content while allowing space for creativity.
