EASI is very interested in this discussion.  I'll post something more
intelligent by Monday.

1  we will be happy to add a bunch of new links to the library page

2  We'd love to work with some of you folk and come up with a pamphlet both
electronic and paper.  We could even provide a bunch of paper copies when
it is done.

A wonderful online bibliography!  I shall happily pass it along to our
University's Council for Disability Concerns.   Thanks so much for sharing.
