Hi Lisa:

If people want to try out Westlaw Text Only and they don't have a
subscription to Westlaw, they can register for a 14 day Westlaw password --
it will allow them into a limited group of databases, but they can sample
how Westlaw Text Only works. Use the following URL:
http://www.westlaw.com/NewUser/trial.wl. This URL will be changing (I
believe in a month). This password should work on Westlaw Text Only. I
would also suggest that a customer might contact a local West Representative
at http://www.westgroup.com/replocator/.

Otherwise a Westlaw subscription will work. There is also a demo at
http://www.westgroup.com/products/westlaw/textonly/

Thanks.

Laura,
Is it okay to create a userid and password to logon to this text only site,
or do you have a "demo" userid and password you would like for us to use?
Thanks,

Mr. Vosloo:
We have created a text-only version of Westlaw, the premier online legal
research service for attorneys. It is called Westlaw Text Only
(text.westlaw.com) and it is compatible with screen readers and other
assistive technology. It is also used by customers who access Westlaw at
slower connection speeds. It was showcased this year at the American Bar
Association, NABLA and ABLA conferences where it was well-received. We are
currently developing additional enhancements to make Westlaw Text Only even
more accessible based on their membership's feedback.

Thanks.

There have been a few requests in the past by users compiling lists of good
looking accessible sites. Does anyone if these lists are publicly available?

If you have a great looking site which is accessible -- can also be a
text-only version -- please send me the URL.

Thanks
Steve
