Internet discussion lists or listservs are set up for people all over the world to provide input and gain answers to questions on a particular topic. Relevant discussion lists were subscribed to and questions were posted relating to this project. Lists used, discussing topics such as computer access for blind people, equal access to software and information, are listed in Appendix C. A particularly useful source of information relevant to the Project was the World Wide Web. To supplement the on-line information, publications were obtained from a variety of projects and sources. The examples used for activities in Australia and other countries is not exhaustive but are designed to give an overview of the area under study.
Research reporting The report is divided into four major sections.
As there is, relatively speaking, not as much activity in Australia as in many other countries, U.S. and European activities are covered in reasonable detail to provide a picture of the developments occurring in information access for people with disabilities. Recommendations are described within each section and are also listed in the Executive Summary.
