<font face="Arial">Thanks, Dann, Ken, and others.<br>
<br>
Dann, your PP presentation is quite timely...both for this discussion
and in the world of Kindles. Thank you for sharing it!<br>
<br>
Someone at a meeting I was in yesterday said that they feel like they
are in an episode of "I Love Lucy" trying to catch the pies before they
go off the end of the conveyor belt. Our work feels that way
sometimes, doesn't it? Trying to get good information out there before
things go viral on us...<br>

<pre wrap="">Interesting you should use the wording "professors may think electronic equals accessible". Here is my presentation from the 2008 Accessing Higher Ground conference discussing that very topic:

Hi Melanie,
I've not seen this, but electronic = access is definitely a misunderstanding that I've been combating for some time now with faculty. Would definitely be interested in hearing about this process and accessibility issues!

Has anyone seen books produced using this process? I wrote to them and asked about accessibility. It concerns me because professors may think electronic equals accessible.
