I am writing from another country but we do keep an eye on U.S activity.

Their web-site www.access-board.gov <http://www.access-board.gov> seems to
be inoperable at the moment. I called and they suggested it would be looked
into.
In the mean time, some recent electronic information "rules" from
http://www.trace.wisc.edu/docs/nprmrule/nprmrule.htm
<http://www.trace.wisc.edu/docs/nprmrule/nprmrule.htm> are worth a look.
For web access I suggest you should become familiar with

Subject: Library Access Articles
Greetings,
I am looking for the best three articles on library access
for inclusion in
a packet of readings in a foundations class for library and
information
science students. They could range outside libraries some. I
have thought
that an article on "Libraries and the ADA", one on making
libraries
accessible, especially regarding electronic resources and
one on web access
might work. I am very open to suggestions however.
John
