Hi folks,

If you wish to combine a vacation in Central Europe with what promises
to be a very interesting conference, consider attending the 8th
International Conference on Computers Helping People with Special Needs
sponsored by the Austrian Computer Society (OCG) together with the

particular interest to librarians. Its focus is on the following topics:

Accessibility of digital formats 
Guidelines for Universal Design of Books 
Accessibility E-books for People with Low Vision 
Electronic School Books 
Virtual Libraries 
Digital Right Management 
Tools for adapting the original files provided by publishers

For more information visit the conference web site at
