Bill, 

Congratulations on figuring out that there'sa more than Bobby and that separate text-only pages aren't needed if the basic page is well designed!  For an extensive list of evaluation and repair tools, go to the Web Accessibility Initiative's site, specifically to http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/existingtools.html  And crawl around that site for lots more information.

Good luck with funding your assistive technology.  Let us know what you choose and how things go.

Best,
Audrey

Is it appropriate to ask people here to look at a website and evaluate it in
terms of accessability?  The majority of the library website makes the grade
under Bobby for level 1.  I am not satsified with that and would like some
guidance as to where to proceed.  After attending a presentation last year
by Norm Coombs, I also added many more text alternatives and links to allow
those with screen readers to jump over naigation bars to the content of our
pages.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.  The website is at:

http://www.morrisville.edu/library/ 

I have not provided a separate site for those using screen readers.  That
makes no sense to me.  Well designed sites should not need two sets of
pages.

I also want to thank everyone for the suggestions on monitors and screen
readers.  Now it all depends on what funding I can find.  This is a great
list.
