namely Elsevier and Ebsco and both companies are eager to enhance the
accessibility of their systems. Ranti Junus from MSU (from the same campus as
you are in) has been working with us for many years. I would like to invite you
and anyone who is interested in enhancing the accessibility of Elsevier and
Ebsco application to join the respective groups to shape the accessibility of
their products.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Our Library currently receives eTexts via a number of
providers. It seems like every company under the sun has its own platform, and
this decentralization is really a concern. Testing for, and insuring the
accessibility of each is akin to hearding cats. We are assisting the library
in evaluating the accessibility of several major platforms: Ebrary,
Springer, Wiley, Elsevier and Ebsco. I’m curious as to whether others have
already looked at any of these and what your findings were if
so?<o:p></o:p></P>
