Our SIG's 'e-Lifelines': Tapping Online Resources to Help Meet Special Needs

摘要

The Special Needs SIG's "e-Lifelines" come in four categories: (1) a comprehensive Web site, (2) a dynamic and data-rich online newsletter, (3) a robust listserv, and (4) specialized e-mail distributions. This paper will take a quick look at each of these 4. More details will be provided in Session UID 8E, "From Disabled to Enabled: Meeting Special Needs to Ensure Accessibility." During the freeform part of the progression, attendees will have an opportunity to locate areas of specific interest to them, ask questions, and give suggestions and feedback to the facilitators that will help make the Special Needs Web site even more effective and valuable. Attendees will receive a copy of the SIG newsletter and a current list of disability-related Web resources.
