I am a relative neophyte, but I tried to access Seattle Public Library's
catalog online, but the speech would not read it sufficiently for me to be
able to read everything or to order a title from the catalog. As I recall
(it was some time ago), it read some of the information, such as author and
title, but did not read all of it. It was text-based, and the speech was
for Windows programs, so the two formats were not very compatible. I should
have complained, but the person helping me was the library's technical
person in charge of helping patrons with disabilities for the accessibility
project, so I figured it was her job to let those above her know there was a
problem. But I probably should have complained.

Subject: ADA complaints regarding library AT
Dear List members:
For an article on the ADA and library AT, I would appreciate receiving
information on complaints about lack of ADA compliance by libraries with
regard to AT or computer/website access, and how these complaints were
resolved.
