>To: [log in to unmask]
>
>The Suburban Library System in suburban Chicago, is seeking a
>Project Director to develop a continuing education program as part of
>a grant project.
>
> The goal of this grant project is to provide focused training
>that ensures library Web pages are universally accessible. Through a
>series of workshops, participants explore how the Americans with
>Disabilities Act (and recent recommendations/guidelines) applies to
>Web sites, experience how sight-impaired people use the Web, and learn
>how to create Web pages that are universally accessible.
>
> In addition, the presentations and supporting print information
>will be made available on the Web. This increases access to the
>information for library staff and citizens, especially for libraries
>that are just now planning Web sites.
>
> The grant is funded through October. Specific responsibilities
>for the Project Director will include:
>
>* planning and scheduling the series of workshops;
>
>* securing workshop presenters and obtaining the rights to tape the
>presentations and publish any print materials on the Web;
>
>* arranging for the taping and editing of the workshop presentations;
>
>* developing marketing materials for the grant project, which will
>include the workshop announcements and registration materials as well
>as a brochure or other piece summarizing the presentations;
>
>* developing marketing materials for the Web site that will be based
>on the workshop presentations.
>
> SLS expects to engage someone from outside the library
>community but will consider all serious applicants. Hopefully this
>person will have experience providing services to the disabled;
>alternatively they will be experienced with continuing education
>development.
>
> If interested, please contact Pamela Brown at
>[log in to unmask] Please feel free to forward this message to
>anyone you know who would be qualified to lead this project.
