Greetings,

Blind Participants Needed - Accessibility Research
We are conducting a study to understand how accessible and usable internet web archives are for people who are blind. We are looking for research participants who meet the following criteria:


  *   Adults 18-65 years of age.
  *   Legally Blind.
  *   No motor impairments.
  *   Familiarity with screen readers.
  *   Familiarity with web browsing on computers.
  *   Own a laptop computer.

Each participant will take part in one testing session, approximately half an hour to an hour-long session. The participants will be expected to bring their own laptop computer for the study. The study will take place at the National Federation of the Blind headquarters in Baltimore, 200 East Wells Street, Baltimore, MD 21230. We will provide $25 as compensation for the study, and we will also cover additional local travel costs.
