Hi there,
in my next posting I will forward to you a message that I just sent to
Questia Media. This is a company which advertises a new online database
providing access to over 250,000 volumes of books and journals. The company
claims that their multi-million project is the world's largest digitization
project which would provide "unlimited access to the wealth of human
knowledge."
Well, the company's rhetoric does not match up with the design of their "web
commercials". The Questia database trial page contains links to an
"Overview" page and a "Tour" page, both of which are completely inaccessible
to people with print disabilities. Perhaps you would like to follow suit and
write a letter to Questia Media in order to express your concerns.
