Accessibility Study of Museum Websites in Italy and in Switzerland
Wide analytical survey on a significant numbeer of museum websites in Italy and in Switzerland to verify their current level of accessibility (especially for visually-impaired users). The accessibility validation will be based on the W3C international standards of accessibility and on other advanced guidelines.
A common method of limiting access to services made available over the Web is visual verification of a bitmapped image. This presents a major problem to users who are blind, have low vision, or have a learning disability such as dyslexia.
Alex Helmick and the Guru check out the hot new ebook, the Amazon Kindle 2... but nothing on controversy about TTS, Authors' Guild, blind people's reactions to AG and Amazon caving in to AG. Nothing about DRM either.
