I am excited to celebrate the conclusion of National Library Week with a special crossword puzzle designed for our assistive technology community! This puzzle highlights the vital role libraries play in promoting accessibility and inclusivity, ensuring that everyone has the tools and resources they need to engage fully with the world of information. From innovative assistive technologies to inclusive services, libraries are at the forefront of supporting diverse needs. I invite you to test your knowledge and learn more about the intersection of libraries, accessibility, and assistive technology through this engaging activity. Let’s solve and celebrate together the wonderful contributions libraries make to our communities!

ChatGPT, a potential tool for increased accessibility, was used as a research and writing aid for this blog post and crossword puzzle. All the clues and answers were fact checked after they were generated by ChatGPT—which really cuts into any potential efficiency gains but we’re all learning how to best adapt and use AI as a new tool! Do you think this is an appropriate use of chatGPT? Why or why not? Let me know!
