iansyst Newsletter May 2010 from dyslexic.com
Welcome
Decision making can be very difficult and time consuming. This week’s events in politics proved that.
However, some people do know how to make a decision; at the London Bookfair on Wednesday 21st April a leading publisher called Elsevier won the first ever JISC TechDis Publisher Lookup Award for Accessibility.
The award recognises Publishers who have adapted their business processes to meet their customer’s accessibility requirements. iansyst were proud to be one of the sponsors involved in this project which encourages publishers to make books more accessible to those who may struggle with reading for example, people with dyslexia and visual impairment.
