[Irl-dean] Design for all books

[drice at nda.ie]

Hi Tim,
This is possible but I do not know to what extent.  The library has the 
capacity to provide material in a variety of formats.  There are some 
provisions under the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000 for content to be converted into accessible formats for a person with a disability. Helen Farrell, the NDA librarian, could provide you with more info on this. 

The library is wheelcahir accessible and has the Kurzweil 3000 reading 
software, and a braille printer.  Helen is also available to provide 
assistance. 

Anyone though of any titles?  What are books you dip when you are looking for info on design for all related issues?

Regards,
Dónal.

Hi Dónal

Given the  content material of these books,  is there any plans to make
them available in an accessible format?   i.e.   Perhaps  scanned  in
and stored electronically.

Obviously there are copyright issues,  so I don't know how feasible this
idea could be?

Tim

Hi All,
NDA has a library at its offices on Clyde Road which is open to the 
public. http://www.nda.ie/cntmgmt.nsf/Library?OpenPage.
The staff there, on request from myself have bought a number of books on

web accessibility.  the librarian Helen Farrell is very helpful and 
occasionally looks for suggestions for titles to purchase. 

If you knows any titles on ICT accessibility, Design for All or any 
related topics please post them to this list.  Please provide a small 
amount of info about the book and how you have found it informative or 
useful.  I will make a note of them and over time request that Helen 
purchase them.  They will then be available to the public. 

Regards,
Dónal Rice
