Dear Readers in the US, Australia and Canada,

With effect from 02.12.96 I've become Media Coordinator in a new initiative
aimed at developing and shaping information media services for people with a
single or multiple disability.  Given that the way information is presented
as a message but in a range of media (some of which the hearing & visual
impaired can't handle) - one of the key aims is to multi media all data
received.  We are also intending to link housebound people with the
initiative to form digital media networks and relationships.

If anyone would happen to know of any initiatives which touch on any aspect
of this kind of work, in your own backyards so's to speak I'd be pleased to
hear from you either before or after the Christmas period.

The initiative called SiD - Sandwell (the local borough council) Information
on Disability - will have its own website offering multi media data for
downloading.  Online networking via email and html, as well as exchanging
information by analogue phone media, as well as producing data on recorded
tape (possibly mastered in DAT but dubbed onto micro and standard cassette)
forms just some of the plans in the coming twelve months.  SiD is funded for
six years, incidentally.

Happy Christmas all - thanks to you in advance of any urls or emails you
might know of over the coming few days.


Regards [ :^) =AC )( . . .)  nearest I can get to an emoticon snowman (marks
