INTRODUCTION AND CALL FOR ARTICLES AND NEWS ITEMS
_INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND DISABILITIES_
_Information Technology and Disabilities_ is a refereed
journal devoted to the practical and theoretical issues
surrounding the development and effective use of new and emerging
technologies by computer users with disabilities. Founded by
EASI (Equal Access to Software and Information), _Information
Technology and Disabilities_ will feature articles on issues
affecting educators (K through college), librarians, adaptive
technology trainers, rehabilitation counselors, human resources
professionals, and developers of adaptive computer hardware and
software products. In addition to refereed, in-depth feature
articles on issues of concern to our target audience,
_Information Technology and Disabilities_ will feature a number
of regular departments, each edited by an expert in the field.
_Information Technology and Disabilities_ is intended for
educators, librarians, academic computing staff, job
accommodations/human relations professionals, and others
interested in new technology and its effective use by people with
disabilities. The premier issue of _Information Technology and
Disabilities_ will include invited feature articles by leaders in
the field of computing and disability. Future articles will be
refereed, and the editorial board plans to have the contents
of the journal indexed in a number of standard reference
sources. The editors invite submission of feature articles as
well as news of forthcoming publications, research in progress,
upcoming events, or any other tidbits of interest to the many
professionals concerned with the impact of technology on the
lives of people with disabilities.
