Webinar Title: A tour of the forthcoming "Accessible Image Sample Book"
    * Date: Thursday, February 6, 2014
    * Time: 11:00 a.m Pacific (12:00 p.m. Mountain, 1:00 p.m.

    * Presenters: Elaine Ober (Pearson) and Lucia Hasty (Rocky 
Mountain Braille Associates)

The DIAGRAM Center's Content Working Group co-chairs, Elaine Ober 
(Pearson) and Lucia Hasty (Rocky Mountain Braille Associates), will 
demonstrate this free online resource that shows you what some of the 
many options are for creating accessible versions of digital images 
such as maps, bar charts, diagrams, mathematical expressions, 
photographs, and more. Each of the seven chapters in the book shows a 
different complex image in context of the book it came from, along 
with helpful tips and the code used to provide the accessible image 
in a digital book. See (and hear!) the different ways that an image 
can be made accessible, including: short and long descriptions, 
tactile graphics, MathML, sonification, audio description, and 3D 
printing. The presenters will discuss how this resource can be used 
as a guide when creating accessible images in your own digital books 
and other digital publications.
