[bcab] Re: Public libraires - Accessibility software

Hi Anne,

 

Personally, I use, and we sell, System Access from Serotek,
http://www.serotek.com <http://www.serotek.com/> .  This means I can walk up
to any computer in your library right now, plug in a USB key and carry my
speech with me.  I think this is the future, not "special" VI computers.
But this is just one opinion.

 

Also, we have the web version, http://www.satogo.com
<http://www.satogo.com/>  which is free, and you are free to use and try.

 

If you want to know more about System Access, please feel free to contact
me.

 

All the best

 

Steve

Subject: [bcab] Public libraires - Accessibility software

 

Hi folks, 

 

I wonder if anyone can help with this one....? 

 

Kent Libraries and Archives will be updating their management information
systems in 2009, which includes our web catalogue .

 

We currently have Supernova software on pcs for public use in libraries
themselves and we are currently evaluating current and past usage. Most
customers use library pcs for internet and e-mail.  

 

We are considering whether we upgrade Supervova next year and what other
software options are now available which will make the system and our pcs as
accessible as possible. 

 

We are working with local people and organisations, (e.g Kent  Association
for the Blind) ,looking at what other libraries have done and may commission
an audit by Abilitynet. 

 

Does anyone know of any recent evaluative studies that may help inform our
decision or do you have personal experience or professional expertise you
can share with us? 

 

All feedback gratefully received!

 

Many thanks

 

 

Anne
