Adaptive Technology for the Internet: Making Electronic Resources Available to All "http://www.ala.org/editions/openstacks/insidethecovers/mates/mates_toc.html" On July 24, the American Library Association (ALA) announced that the full text of Barbara Mates's best-selling book is now online and free to all users. Geared toward librarians planning for the accessibility of electronic resources, the book lays out how to "become ADA compliant, publicize efforts and welcome a new community of users to the library." Technologies covered include HTML coding for accessibility, screen readers, voice recognition systems, and hearing assistance devices. Offered by chapter in HTML format, this book is an invaluable resource for library staff and anyone interested in accessibility issues and electronic resources.
