Explore Alt Text in the Media Lab

Created in 1993 as a way to describe images for text-based browsers, alternative text, commonly alt text, has become an essential feature for sharing images in Internet code, in documents, and on social media. Alt text is used to make the internet a more user friendly and accessible place to those who use screen readers including the visually impaired. It can also aid in search engine optimization (SEO) driving more traffic to posts and pages.

Stop in the Media Lab during the month of November to learn about using alt text for Microsoft Office and social media to make your posts and documents more accessible online.

The Media Lab is open during Library hours Sunday through Friday.
