"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."

Subject: [Nfbnet-members-list] Blind and Low Vision Participants Needed for
Research Study on Digital Library Guidelines

The below research participant solicitation is being provided for
informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no
involvement in this research, but we believe that it may contribute to our
research mission.

Invitation to Participate in Research on Evaluating Digital Library
Accessibility and Usability Guidelines -
Blind and Visually Impaired Users

Are you blind or visually impaired, and at least 18 or older? Do you use
computers non-visually by listening to a screen-reader? Do you have at least
three years of experience searching for information on the Internet?

If your response is yes to all of these questions, you can earn $100 for
participating in a research study.

A research team comprising blind and sighted scholars at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee is developing design guidelines to improve the
accessibility and usability of digital libraries (DLs) for users who are
blind or visually impaired.

Volunteers chosen as study participants will be invited to complete an
electronic survey soliciting your input and feedback on these design
guidelines. Participation may take between two to four hours at a time
convenient to the participant. You will first be asked to review guidelines
and then rate the guidelines based on various criteria, in addition to
providing feedback and recommendations for improvement. 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, please contact
Research assistant (email: shengang at uwm.edu<mailto:shengang at uwm.edu>).
Please reference project title: "Creating digital library (DL) design
guidelines for blind and visually impaired (BVI) users - BVI Users"
(IRB#:18.302) in the subject line of the email. Please pass on this
information to other suitable candidates who you think may be interested.


Thanks.
