Seminars at Hadley Presents: Yahoo! for Web Accessibility

Date: Thursday, February 24, 2011

Time: 1:00 p.m. CST, 19:00 GMT

Is Web accessibility a concern for you or your clients and customers? Are you

finding navigating the Web to be an impossible quest?

The Web is an increasingly important resource in many aspects of our daily

lives: education, employment, business, shopping, health care, recreation and

much more; but navigating its waters and accessing its ports can be a difficult

task for disabled Web sailors. On the other hand, when Web sites, Web

technologies and Web tools are properly designed, developed and edited, all

users can have equal access to information and functionality.

Join Seminars at Hadley as Yahoo! Senior Accessibility Program Manager Victor

Tsaran talks about how Yahoo! promotes Web access within its community and

across the World Wide Web.  Among other things, you’ll learn how Yahoo! uses

its Accessibility Lab to design, test, and create sites, applications and

features that better meet the needs of users with disabilities.

This 60 minute seminar will be moderated by Hadley Outreach Coordinator Billy

Brookshire. A question and answer session will be included.

Attention Readers!

The next meeting of the Hadley Book Chat is March 7 at 1:00 p.m. CST.  Join us

as we discuss The Help by Kathryn Stockett. This piece of historic fiction

provides a fascinating inside look at the maids working in Mississippi in the

1960s.  The Help is available at [2]Bookshare and the [3]National Library

Service.  For further information and log-on instructions, contact Debbie

Siegel at [4]siegel at hadley.edu.
