> Looking for input on the following:
>
> On October 6, 1998 the Gap will be reviewing a proposal to add a web link
> on their already existing web site located at www.gap.com so that blind
> computer users can access an on-line catalog.  The catalog will identify
> garments' care instruction, material content, color, description of item,
> cost, size availablility, what to wear the item with, tactile image of
the
> garment for those who have access to make tactiles from the web, store
> location and on-line ordering capacity.  Also, suggesting that blind
> shoppers can call in advance and arrange for a personal shopper.  Also,
> free washable braille and large print labels will be available with items
> and can be sewn onto garments after purchase.  The purpose of the catalog
> is to allow for blind shoppers to access items so when at a store one can
> simply request to see an item.
> Interested parties, please check out current gap site and send e-mail
input
> to [log in to unmask] as soon as possible.  The more input we have
> about making garments and shopping easier through the Internet, the
better
> we can present this inofrmation to the industry.
