WebAnywhere


Whether you are a web designer, or just want to test a given web page (your OPAC, for instance?) for accessibility, WebAnywhere is a great web-based resource.

What it is, simply put, is a screen reader that works within your browser without requiring a plug-in or specialty software.  Just enter the url of the website you wish to have read, and it simply works.

This is a great way to enable all your library computers to be a bit more accessible, without having to install anything; as well as providing a resource for those with visual limitations.

Tech Static


The Tech Static is, as stated on the site, “Your collection development resource for technology titles”.

They are using a blog to house reviews of technology books and resources, and are planning to publish monthly.  It looks as though they will become an excellent resource not only for collection development, but for personal selections as well.  I am looking forward to their reviews!
