Access to technical texts and facilities, although long-neglected, is 
finally being addressed by researchers in a number of fields. The editors of 
Information Technology and Disabilities are assembling a special issue of 
this quarterly electronic journal devoted to science and math. We encourage 
authors who are working on accessible technical texts, adaptive laboratory 
facilities and any other issues related to access to science and technical 
materials and facilities, to submit articles.

This special issue of ITD  will include a technical description of the 
ground-breaking research of Dr. T.V. Raman.  Dr. Raman's Audio System for 
Technical Readings (AsTeR), was recently featured at a symposium on access 
issues held at Recording for the Blind in Princeton, NJ. In addition, David 
Lunney, professor of chemistry at East Carolina University, will discuss 
issues involving access to laboratory facilities.

We intend to make this special issue as comprehensive as possible.  If you 
are working in any capacity with access to technical and scientific texts or 
facilities, please consider submitting an article for this issue. Feel free 
to contact the editor, preferably via e-mail, to discuss your ideas, to 
suggest a potential author or authors, or simply to find out more about 
Information Technology and Disabilities.
