Government Technology February 2001 Breaking The Access Barrier While government hails the internet and automated information systems as a means for improving service delivery and boosting internal efficiency, information technology represents a double-edged sword for Americans with disabilities. http://www.govtech.net/magazines/story.phtml?id=2530000000000926 The Word on Access The Americans with Disabilities Act celebrated its 10th anniversary last July with a look back at 10 years of progress. However, there is still much to be done. This month, we looked at access to government services by people with disabilities as well as public-sector employment opportunities for people with disabilities. We found four sources directly involved in both aspects of access and solicited their comments. http://www.govtech.net/magazines/story.phtml?id=2530000000000947 Enabling Technology Amendments to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 require all technology to be accessible to people with disabilities. What effect will this have on state and local governments and the technology they purchase? http://www.govtech.net/magazines/story.phtml?id=2530000000000945 -- Kathleen Anderson, Webmaster Office of the State Comptroller 55 Elm Street Hartford, Connecticut 06106 e-mail: kathleen.anderson@po.state.ct.us URL: http://www.osc.state.ct.us/
