INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND DISABILITIES
ISSN 1073-5127
************************************************
_Information Technology and Disabilities_ is a new,
quarterly electronic journal devoted to all aspects of computer
use by persons with disabilities. It is intended to fill a void
in the professional literature by bringing together articles by
educators (K through College), librarians, human resources and
rehabilitation professionals, as well as campus computing and
other professionals concerned with the effective use of
technology by people with all kinds of disabilities.
The premier issue of _Information Technology and
Disabilities_ reflects the breadth of coverage that the journal's
editorial board plans to maintain in future issues. Feature
articles include a case study of an accessible CD-ROM workstation
at the Seattle Library for the Blind, a profile of the St. John's
University UNIBASE system, including the many rehabilitation
resources housed there, and an article on the Royal Society for
the Blind (Australia), which provides excellent screen design
principles for enhanced accessibility. Feature articles are
supplemented by news of interest to computer users with
disabilities as well as educators, librarians, rehabilitation and
other professionals interested in the uses of new and emerging
technologies by people with disabilities.
