From Jim's BeneBlog today......
"Thursday is World Usability Day, and I'll be giving a on-line session
entitled Technology Social Entrepreneurship and Accessibility of Web
Services
<http://www.accessonmainstreet.net/world-usability-day-accessibility-cha
nnel/technology-social-entrepreneurship-and-accessibility-of-web-service
s/> at 20:10 GMT, or 12:10pm PST. I never have done such an event, so
I'm looking forward to trying it out!"
Description of the Presentation:
Jim Fruchterman will be talking about his efforts to deliver
accessibility through web services. He will present Bookshare.org, an
accessible web site for people with print disabilities for delivering
books and newspapers in large print, audio and Braille forms. Also
discussed will be the accessibility challenges of some of the commercial
sites delivering book content, such as Amazon.com, Google and
Yahoo!/Open Content Alliance, and challenges around electronic books.
Electronic content should make accessibility simple, yet it often falls
short because of lack of understanding or overdone digital rights
management concerns.
