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

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Joshua,

>From what I saw in their announcement, it shouldn't change accessibility at
all. If it does, I think both NFB and NABS will have something to say about
it, as we did when Learning Ally had their accessibility problems.

By the way, I forwarded this same announcement from Bookshare to this list
before I saw that Joshua had also forwarded it, so you will probably be
getting it twice. Sorry about this.

Chris

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!
