Hi  Thought some of you would be interested in this

Subject: [DCWW] CREN Webcast on Web accessibility 
Reply-To: Jennifer Sutton <jensutton AT earthlink.net> 


I thought some of you might be interested in the following Webcast. 
For those of you who're fairly familiar with the issues, I'd particularly
point you to the text transcript of the archived interview that took
place this afternoon.  It's faster to skim.  the presentation
lasts about 45 minutes.

One of the topics which might be of most interest to this group was the
discussion of cost.  In that discussion (answer to the specific
question), the respondents gave some succinct and clear answers
concerning why accessibility is important for all.

Hope some of you find this item of interest.  Even though
universities are discussed at length, much of the information is
universally applicable.
