I have contacted the two companies and asked them about the accessibility of What Do I Read Next and Readers Advisor Online, respectively. I will share their responses with this group.

Subject: Readers' adviser databases

I started with a simple question:  What authors are like David Baldacci.  My librarian gave me a few suggestions and then suggested I use the novelist database.  It's totally inaccessible.  The two alternatives I've found are Gale's What Do I Read Next WDIRN and Readers Advisor Online.  Do any of you have any info about the accessibility of either of them to screen readers, or perhaps another idea?  Thanks.  Kathie
