HP SPEARHEADS PROGRAM FOR USERS WITH DISABILITIES - The
Library Technology Access (LTA) initiative, led by Hewlett-Packard (HP), aims to
increase library computer accessibility for users with disabilities. The goal of the
program is to design "template" solutions that libraries can implement easily to
improve access for users with visual, hearing, mobility, or learning disabilities. The
first part of the initiative launched recently with installations at several libraries
around the nation. The workstations at the test sites will record how users interact
with the technology, providing data that will be used to generate models of how
assistive technology and accessibility tools can best serve library patrons. For
