<DIV><SPAN class=442313015-14112011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We have been working
with Elsevier, one of the largest electronic journal publishing company for
number of years on improving accessibility of their
products.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=442313015-14112011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Recently we worked
on a new product called Article of the Future to be released this December and
we are now in the process of redesigning Science Direct, a product that most of
our institutions are using.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=442313015-14112011><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Elsevier would like
to reach out more higher ed institutions and users with disabilities to
participate in the new design. I would like to invite all the interested
individuals who believe on accessible design to this collaboration group. The
collaboration would require signing an NDA with Elsevier and participation at
least in the bi-weekly online meeting.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
