as it so happens I'm working my way through <A

appearing fairly good to me, but haven't yet had much time to play with
it...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I want to thank you for responding
to my post regarding my research. The topic of information access is of
most interest to me, and is of great importance not only to myself, but, I
feel, to everyone, and is definitely worth researching. I myself use a
combination of Braille and computer/assistive technology in order to obtain
that access. Information should be available to everyone, not just one
specific sect of the population, and I strongly believe that the combination
of using Braille and assistive technology together, and not just either one or
the other alone, helps close that information gap. Some things are
easier to do with hardcopy Braille, such as skimming a document, finding
specific pages, and even proofreading, whereas computer/assistive technology
is a better solution in other instances; completing assignments, access to the
Internet, and reading books that would otherwise be too huge to carry around
were they in multiple Braille volumes. (Instead of only being able to
carry around one book or part of a book, we can carry around thousands of
books either on our laptop computers or portable note taking devices).
Some find that by listening to speech, they can also read faster than were
they to read the same thing in Braille. These are some of my thoughts
and opinions on the topic, at any rate, to give you an idea of my take on
things and where I’m trying to go with my research, which I hopefully have
been able to do.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Regarding a survey, I would love
to be able to implement an online survey as that would probably be easier for
people to answer and I’m guessing also easier for me to compile the responses
once people have completed it. In that, though, I have no idea how to go
about creating one. For previous surveys, I have just written out a
Microsoft Word document of the survey and stored each person’s completed
survey in a particular folder on my computer, organizing things that way.
If you would be able to help me create an online survey or know of
someone who would be willing, I would be greatly interested. I have an
idea of the questions I want to ask, (the survey really isn’t that involved
and shouldn’t be that long), so perhaps making it available online wouldn’t be
that hard to do? I don’t know. </SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>
