At the ALA conference, during our Universal Accessibility discussion, an interest was expressed in finding a better way for librarians to communicate about accessibility of library e-resources, such as databases, ebooks, etc.
The fcllowing was a wiki that had been set up for this purpose: (http://ascla.ala.org/toolkit/index.php?title=Accessibility_to_Library_Databases_and_Other_Online_Library_Resources_for_People_with_Disabilities ).
A small group has volunteered to create a simpler and easier Drupal-based website to replace this wiki.
We are looking for people who would be interested in joining a core group of volunteers to work on this.
The core group would work to connect with future contributors (such as users with disabilities and/or librarians who have at least a little knowledge about accessibility).
Please reply to me if you would be interested.
