Information about the study is below. If you are interested in participating, you can contact her directly at lsnider at interchange.ubc.ca or at (604) 347-5913. Thank you, Anna K. Kresmer, MSLS Archivist Jacobus tenBroek Library National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute 200 East Wells Street at Jernigan Place Baltimore, MD 21230 Telephone: (410) 659-9314, ext. 2310 Email: akresmer at nfb.org Check out the JtB Library's new archives and manuscripts database, The Cane Tip! www.nfb.org/thecanetip Volunteers Needed for Archival Website Research Study The Study: We are conducting a research study to find out how accessible and usable Canadian archival websites are for users with and without disabilities. The Goal: The goal of this study is to inform archivists about potential accessibility and usability barriers present on archival websites, and educate them on how to improve websites for all viewers. As well, this study will compare the experiences of users with disabilities to those from users without disabilities, in order to chart whether there are similarities or differences in the barriers found. Volunteers Needed: * We are looking for volunteers, who self identify as either disabled or non-disabled, to become website testers for this study. * For those identifying as disabled, we would value the input of volunteers with visual disabilities (including blind, low vision, colour blind, etc.), physical disabilities (includes those who have limited or no use of arms or hands, etc.), cognitive/neurological/learning disabilities (includes those with autism, dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, etc.), auditory disabilities (deaf and hard of hearing) and/or multiple disabilities. * Volunteers can live anywhere in the world, have any level of computer/internet experience and they don't need any experience using an archives. * Volunteers must be over the age of majority in their home country, and be able to legally consent to the study. * The identity of volunteers will be kept confidential and will never be revealed in the study or in articles, publications, etc. What Volunteers Will Do: * Volunteers will be asked to complete a specific task on a Canadian archival website, and then they will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire about their experience on that site. There will be five different websites tested in this study, and volunteers may stop participating in the study at any time. * Volunteers may need to devote from 2.5 to 5 hours in total to this research study. This time will be spread out, and it will not be all at one sitting. * Regrettably, there is no compensation for volunteers. However, your help will aid in making websites more accessible! * It is hoped that all website testing will be completed by the end of July, if possible. Interested in Being a Volunteer?: If you would like to volunteer please contact Lisa Snider, the Co-Investigator of the research study, atlsnider at interchange.ubc.ca or at (604) 347-5913. Forward this to Others/Listservs: Please forward this email and/or letter to listservs, and to anyone who might be interested in becoming a volunteer for this research study. Volunteers can come from any walk of life and any country. About The Research Study Investigators Lisa Snider is the Co-Investigator of the Canadian Archival Website Accessibility Research Study.

A number of partners http://www.fixtheweb.net/about#partners are contributing to the development of the project. See a video about the Fix the Web project . http://www.fixtheweb.net/video Web accessibility is not improving very quickly despite the efforts of many experts. The scale of the problem is huge and there is a need for culture change amongst web developers and website owners. Our solution is to make it super easy for people facing accessibility issues (such as many disabled and older people) to report problems with websites. Volunteers do the work of contacting the website owners and signposting them to support. In doing this work, volunteers will understand more about e-accessibility for themselves, as well as giving crucial information to website owners. Everybody wins! Details of how the process works are explained for the different roles (volunteering http://www.fixtheweb.net/being-volunteer and issue reporter http://www.fixtheweb.net/reporting-websites ) and in the FAQs http://www.fixtheweb.net/faq. You can get involved in three different ways: 1. Report issues you are having with websites. 2. Volunteer to help liaise with website owners. 3. Support the development of the project: contact the coordinator . http://www.fixtheweb.net/contact Reporting and volunteering are different "roles" within the Fix the Web process. We ask that reporters are disabled or older people facing web accessibility issues. Anyone can be a volunteer (we suggest you have reasonable tech skills) and this includes disabled and older people themselves. You may even want to take your own report forwards as a volunteer, making use of the sense of collective in Fix the Web, you are very welcome to do this. *Benefits of a volunteer led process:* 1. Complaining could happen on a much bigger scale 2. Volunteers can offer support to make the web a better place, in their own time and online 3. It's an easier process for disabled people 4. The volunteers enhance their own knowledge and skills 5. Website owners get feedback they can work with or use to justify changes to budget holders 6. Web accessibility experts get more business 7. Disabled people don't have to keep fighting their own corner 8. It is clearer what the key issues are: there is a kind of mass user testing in place. *What we want to achieve and why* We want to get 250,000 websites reported over the next 2 years. That will need about 10,000 volunteers signed up and many hundreds of active reporters. We believe this will change the culture of the Web. We are UK focused for now (though everyone is welcome) and we would want to extend our global reach if this process works. In the UK alone, 6 million web users are excluded to some extent from 80% of websites. It is infuriating at times for disabled users. 30.4% of a blind person's time is wasted on-line dealing with access issues. Disabled people, if they had the energy and time to take this issue on (and report all the issues they face) may be excluded even from the complaining process (for example by the use of captchas). That's why we want to make it super-easy for disabled people to report and let volunteers take the issues forwards. To add the ATbar to your browser simply right click the following link and add it to your bookmarks (also called favorites in Internet Explorer). On Safari, Chrome or Firefox you can drag the link to your bookmarks. http://www.fixtheweb.net/toolbar Should you ever wish to /Fix the Web/ simply select the bookmark and the ATbar will appear as a series of buttons (or links) at the top of the current page. (Note you will need to use a javascript enabled browser.) To use simply click the heart button (which is labelled "create a fix the web report about this page) and a new window will open with the address of the problem page shown. You then only need to fill in the accessibility issue field with the details of the problem you encountered. The Fix the Web heart button is integrated in to ATbar, the assistive technology toolbar and so contains a number of other accessibility features you may find invaluable. Discover the functions of ATbar at this link; http://www.atbar.org/ ATbar has been created as an open-source, cross-browser toolbar to help users customise the way they view and interact with web pages. The concept behind ATbar is simple: One toolbar to provide all of the functionality you would usually achieve through the use of different settings or products. The ATbar allows you to enlarge and shrink text, run an online TTS (Text To Speech) converter for the page, change styles such as colors and fonts, spell check and of course, it opens a tab when you click on the heart where you can write a description of the accessibility issue such as mis-labeled forms, a non-compliant CAPTCHa or other issues. The tab contains the address of the web page so that when you fill out a description of the problem and submit it, the Fix The Web site receives your report which is then posted for volunteers to attempt to contact the web authors and let them know there is an issue that needs to be resolved. There is no guarantee that the web authors will do anything, but the attempts must be made. Reporters are needed, but just as importantly, volunteers to contact the web authors are also needed. Note that with the tools on the Fix The Web site, reporters have the ability to become their own advocates and become volunteers.

Here are the guidelines that we have tried to abide buy. I typed these up for the NFB webmasters group website. ---------------- This is a list of best practices when it comes to Paypal accounts 1. A chapter or Affiliate account should be a Paypal Business account. There is no additional charge for this type of account (it is still free) and it gives you the ability to be recognized by the name of your organization and not the name of the person who is the primary contact on the account. 2. The NFB has the bank statements for all Affiliate bank accounts sent to the National Office. For this reason 1800 Johnson St. Baltimore, MD should be setup as an alternate postal address in Pay Pal. This is because the mailing address in Pay Pal needed to match the one on our bank statements. This being said keep the primary mailing address something local in your area. 3. You might consider making the primary email address in the account (the one statements and other communications are sent to) a distribution list that forwards emails to both your State President and State Treasure. 4. Only the President and Treasure should have full access into the Pay Pal account. A Paypal Business account allows you to setup additional logins with limited access. A states webmaster for instance will want one of these so they can get in and setup Pay Pal shopping carts on your website and so on. 5. Since someone has to be the official primary contact on the account, It is recommend that this be your Treasure. If at sometime you get a new Treasure there is a formal Paypal process to change this just like there is on a bank account. These concepts are not ment to hinder the operation of your organization but to ensure that the assets of our organization are always handled properly. -------------------------------- Mike --- Mike Hansen On Thu, Jul 19, 2012 at 4:19 PM, Joshua Harper wrote: > Hi my name is Joshua Harper I am with the Tennessee Affiliate.

My first understanding is that they are discouraging it unless you discuss with them a method of recorrding transactions in your affiliates books. Before further pursuing this matter and creating any misunderstanding, if this is for an affiliate or chapter website, I would discuss this matter with the Accounting Department in the National Office. I believe some of the affiliates have worked out something with the National Office on handling the PayPal transactions. I attended this Presidents/Treasurers meeting as I will possibably be the next treasurer for the North Dakota affiliate.
