[Colorado-talk] Fwd: [nabs-l] Opportunity to Participate in Research and Earn a $100 Gift Card

[Zachary N. Griego-Dreicer]

Hello all, thought  some of you might be interested. Please distribute as appropriate.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

> and visually impaired people in the effective search for information
> online. Volunteers selected as study participants will be instructed
> to keep a diary for their interaction. Participants will complete a
> diary based on a diary template as they search for specified
> information in two digital libraries. The participants may complete
> the diaries at a time convenient to the participant over the course of
> two weeks. In addition, participants will be asked to complete several
> questionnaires and a short follow up interview. The complete study
> might take about 3.5 hours. Upon completion of the study, the
> participant will receive a $100 gift card as a token of appreciation.
> If you are interested in participating, or have a question about the
> study, please contact Melissa Castillo (email: castil44 at uwm.edu).
