Hi all, My library just got ABBYY FineReader and I just started using it. I wondered if there's someone here who has experience with it who would be willing to give me some pointers? So far, it seems intuitive to run the OCR and to see where to correct errors but I expect there's more I should know. ...

Hi again Jill, I wanted to say thank you for the info you linked to about citation manager accessibility. I'll keep that doc with the keystrokes for Word in mind. Here's the post about Zotero again. In my mind the most useful part might be the (possible) offer of help from a screen reader user who has ...

Hi Jill I copied a thread about Zotero accessibility from another listserv to this one within the past year I believe. I'll try to find it and forward it to you but I'm writing now in case I don't get to it soon enough. My other suggestion since you're in New York City is to contact Andrew Heiskell ...

RE: looking for examples of websites meeting WCAG

Found In Egroup: Universal Accessibility Interest Group \ view thread
Thanks Anaya! I appreciate your response. I figure it's a stretch to find a library website that anyone feels really confident is meeting WCAG, since our sites are usually so huge, but I had to ask. I got some obvious examples of non-library sites (Webaim, Deque, etc.) on another listserv, so I think ...

Hi all, My Library systems people are asking me if I could ask for examples of websites that meet WCAG. We did not specify a level or version of WCAG, but I'll at least say 2.0 or above. Anyone want to suggest examples that you feel confident do a decent job of meeting any level or version of WCAG 2.0 ...
