NEW BOOK ON WEB ACCESSIBILITY

This is just a heads-up that a new book will be coming out this Summer by
Apress
entitled "Web Accessibility: Web Standards and Regulatory Compliance."
This is
an update to our previous book by co-authors Jim Thatcher, Cynthia Waddell,
et al entitled "Constructing Accessible Web Sites." One of my expanded
chapters
on web accessibility laws and policies takes a look at over 25 countries and
juris-
dictions that require W3C WCAG and/or Section 508 accessible web design.

I also understand that some members of our list will be attending the
International Technology Conference for Persons with Disabilities in Los
Angeles, California USA next week (CSUN). This is an invitation to anyone
who will be at CSUN:

ICTA-NA General meeting and presentations at CSUN

Come meet us at CSUN. The North American chapter of the International
Commission on Technology and Accessibility (ICTA-NA) is holding an open

Waddell (Chair, ICTA-NA), Mary Frances Laughton (Industry Canada), Tim

Society (WSIS), updates on accessibility initiatives in the US, Canada and
Mexico and general information about ICTA-NA. Everyone is welcome. For
late-breaking news about the meeting, visit Industry Canada's booth in the
