[nabs-l] Fwd: Changes coming to Bookshare homepage

[Ashley Bramlett]

Considering that bookshare has blind staff like Alison Hiliker who was 
active in Nabs and they were started for serving blind people, I suspect 
they will still keep accessibility in mind. I think as they change the site, 
just test it out and report any access issues if you find them.

I might get an account. Are their files all test? How do you all read them? 
Computer? Braille notetaker?

I received this E-mail, but my question is, how will this affect 
accessibility?
Thanks, Joshua

Dearr Members,

Next week, we are rolling out some changes to the Bookshare homepage!
While much of the page like login and search will stay the same,
these updates will help new members to get started with Bookshare and
help existing members to use and manage their accounts.

What's new?

First, you will notice an updated main content section and sidebar.
The main content section will have described images and a large sign
up button for first-timers.  The sidebar will contain a new book
counter, the existing and popular "Browse Book Lists", and a
Bookshare news section.

Secondly, we are beginning to personalize the homepage.  After you
log in, you'll see a welcome page that will include a simple search
box to help you find books.  For new members, there will also be a
link to our "Getting Started" page.

In the near future, we'll be adding more features and personalized
news and information to this section, so stay tuned!
