    All:

     

    Please pardon the flurry of announcements/posts.


    This weekend I found out about an article featured on the "Programming Librarian" page of ALA. Katherine Schneider's piece discusses ways to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the ADA. She also includes a number of useful resources on disability history and a discussion of the new accessible icon.
