Dear WTBBL patrons - 

 

A PhD student from the University of Washington Information School who works
with us at WTBBL is doing a study on the meaning of accessible devices to
people who use them.  Her email and a flyer about the study (it takes one
hour and you get $30) are below and attached.

 

Best wishes,

Danielle

If so, you are eligible to participate in this study to learn more about how
people use these devices and how such devices affect their personal lives. 

Participation is voluntary. If you would like to volunteer, you will be
asked to participate in interview sessions and to demonstrate how you use
your device. Sessions will be approximately 1 hour each, and you will
