why not get a program such as Open Book, which converts the images to text,
directly, rather than printing out the pages and re-scanning and converting
them? This, of course, assumes JSTOR isn't doing its part to make its
items truly accessible.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

of JSTOR no longer providing Tiff versions of their articles. You can download
the pdf but it seems locked in the sense that it can’t be read by JAWS (it’s an
image pdf), it’s not tagged, and you can’t run it through OmniPage. All you can
do is print a hard copy and then scan it. You can request them to tag the
document but they indicate this is a 3 day turnaround. This all seems like a
major downgrade from past access.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

don’t list a phone number). They have a whole page on the accessibility of the
