Welcome to
A for Accessibility!
Abstract: A for Accessibility! -
Presenter: Ellen Perlow
Accessibility - the ability to access, the state of being practicable,
feasible, performable, achievable, surmountable, attainable, and obtainable -
is about and for everyone. Today it may be someone else who needs that assistive technology
or alternative format. Tomorrow, virtually all of us will. Then again, we all enjoy
assistive technology every day: from pens and paper clips, to cell phones, umbrellas, and
spurs on our cowboy boots. To truly embrace diversity, our libraries and information
centers, and their resources must be accessible. Especially during these lean economic
times, our accessibility solutions preferably are cost-free.
A for Accessibility! presents cost-free ideas how to transform our Texas library and
information centers into welcoming, accessible public spaces and places. Via the wonders
of assistive technology, poster visitors interactively suggest even more recommendations.
We are all people, people with differences who do things differently.
We are all diverse. Let us celebrate our diversity.
