Dear Judy and EOWG Members: Greetings from Denton, Texas. My regrets for tomorrow's meeting (technical support for classes/work, including the Texas Woman's U. Library School's Accessible web design course - I will be distributing W3C Quick Tips cards...) and the June 14th meeting. On June 14th I will be at the American Library Assn. [ALA] Annual Conference in Atlanta, much, if not most, well, all of the time, advocating for accessibility - accessibility of the ALA website - which according to ALA's own Accessibility Policy - http://www.ala.org/ascla/access_policy.html - SHOULD be accessible. See for instance, the conference website: http://www.ala.org/events/annual2002/ - networking at ALA's exhibits with vendors about accessibility of their products such as online catalogs, databases ... - networking at ALA's 2d annual Accessibility Pavilion - presenting a poster at the ALA Diversity Fair on "A for Accessibility: Ensuring LIS Education for Diversity and Equity of Access" - presenting as a panelist about recruiting people representing (what I call) the universal diversity of doing things differently to the library and info. science profession - helping to honor our 3rd Century Scholar for 2002, Christine Baynes .. See: http://www.ala.org/ascla/awards_current.html#century I will need to order more Quick Tips cards to distribute .... I am still investigating the accreditation process ... My trip to ALA should be helpful in this regard. Thanks very much for your advocacy, Ellen Perlow Chair, ALA ASCLA Century Scholarship Committee The ALA ASCLA Century Scholarship Diversity Initiative "Celebrating a New Century that Celebrates Diversity" http://www.ala.org/ascla/centuryscholarship.html Annual Submission Deadline: March 1st See Also: ALA HRDR Page: http://www.ala.org/hrdr/scholarship.html Texas Century Scholarship: http://www.txla.org/html/awards/scholar/century.html Have YOU recruited/applied to be a Century Scholarship applicant today? ---------------------------------------------------- Manager of Information Services School of Library and Information Studies Texas Woman's University P.O.
