The materials available at this Web site were produced through a year-long cooperative project lead by DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking and Technology) with the University Libraries at the University of Washington.
The project goal was to educate librarians and other educators about adaptive technology and accessible Web design through the development and dissemination of a videotape, brochures and a presentation manual. The materials have been presented at many librarian and educator conferences including Closing the Gap, American Library Association (ALA), SLA, MLA, ACRL, AASL, CSUN and others.
The videotape and presentation manual with overhead and brochure templates can be ordered by completing the DO-IT Videos and Training Materials Order Form. Many of the materials from the project are also available in this section of the DO-IT Web site. You can find out about DO-IT's many other resources at the DO-IT home page.
Funding for the project was provided by the Telecommunications Funding Partnership and the National Science Foundation. The University of Washington also contributes substantial resources to DO-IT.
