Computer Use by and for the Blind Announcing Electronic Journal on Info Tech and Disabilities Announcing A New Quarterly Electronic Journal INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND DISABILITIES ISSN 1073-5127 ************************************************ _Information Technology and Disabilities_ is a new, quarterly electronic journal devoted to all aspects of computer use by persons with disabilities. It is intended to fill a void in the professional literature by bringing together articles by educators (K through College), librarians, human resources and rehabilitation professionals, as well as campus computing and other professionals concerned with the effective use of technology by people with all kinds of disabilities. The premier issue of _Information Technology and Disabilities_ reflects the breadth of coverage that the journal's editorial board plans to maintain in future issues. Feature articles include a case study of an accessible CD-ROM workstation at the Seattle Library for the Blind, a profile of the St. John's University UNIBASE system, including the many rehabilitation resources housed there, and an article on the Royal Society for the Blind (Australia), which provides excellent screen design principles for enhanced accessibility. Feature articles are supplemented by news of interest to computer users with disabilities as well as educators, librarians, rehabilitation and other professionals interested in the uses of new and emerging technologies by people with disabilities.
