Subject: Request for links to how-to articles and tutorials
No previous message | Next message →

Hello. I recently posted an online version of my book, Access by Design: A Guide to Universal Usability for Web Designers, here:

http://universalusability.com/

One of my goals for the online version is to link guidelines from the book, which explain what and why, to articles and tutorials that explain how. So, for example, on this page I describe the what and why of providing text for audio content:

http://universalusability.com/access_by_design/audio_and_video/text.html

And under "Further reading," I provide links to various "how-to" resources. I'm writing to ask for help building out those links.

I know there are many on this list who know of or have authored articles and tutorials that would be useful to readers. If you have a chance, please take a look around the site and send me link suggestions, preferably in the following format so I know which page you are suggesting links for:

- The URL or title of the page at Universal Usability
- The URL of the page or pages for inclusion

Thanks in advance for your help!

Sarah

Hi Laura,

Under the section for Accessibility (Plugins, PDF, PowerPoint, etc.), I have
updated some of the information on PDF and accessibility on our site:

http://www.htctu.net/publications/conferences/csun2005/start.html

And

http://www.htctu.net/publications/conferences/ahg/pdf_forms.html


The link to "Authoring for Accessibility with Adobe PDF Documents" is going
to be removed from our site.

Thank you,
Sean

I've got no recommendations for the links, Sarah, but I'd like to
thank you for putting your book online - it's one that I have
recommended to students for some time now, but getting them to get
into the library and/ or buy a book is quite difficult...

Thanks, Emma - it's great to hear the book is useful. And many thanks to Laura for the wealth of links.

Everyone, when you stumble on something useful, please send it my way, and send me announcements (like the one from Norman Robinson about Section 508) to post on the home page (http://universalusability.com/). Thanks!

Best regards,
Sarah
