ACCESS.TXT Maintained by Michael G. Paciello Paciello Information Research Services 6 Lampron Street Hudson, NH. 03051 (603) 598-9544 Version: 1.0, Feb. 1, 1995 ================================================================================ Preface: -------- This file may be freely distributed and posted. The author asks that you maintain the author data and revision information with each distributed/posted copy. Please feel free to send updates, revisions, and clarifications to Paciello@shane.enet.dec.com. ================================================================================ Abstract -------- ACCESS.TXT is a list of known internet and online news groups that cater to the interests of people with disabilities. The purpose of this list is strictly informational. The current format is not perfect. I will be working to improve this. Additionally, I will be making arrangements to make this list available in braille and large text for those who require it. This list will be updated on a monthly basis, beginning Feb. 1, 1995. I am particularly interested in adding applicable Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). ================================================================================ 1.0 LISTSERVS ADA LAW - Discussion of ADA Law List name: ADA Law Listserv address: bit.listserv.ada-law ADAPT-L - Focuses on adaptive technology in libraries List name: ADAPT-L listserv address: LISTSERV@AMERICAN.EDU AUTISM and Developmental Disabilities List name: Autism Listserv address: bit.listserv.autism BLIND-L - Blind Digest, info on computer use by and for the blind List name: Blind Listserv address: blind-l@uafsysb.uark.edu BLIND News List name: Blindnews Listserv address: bit.listserv.blindnws DSSHE-L - Disabled student services in higher education List name: DSSHE-L listserv address: LISTSERV@UBVM.BITNET EASI - Equal Access to Software and Information List name: EASI listserv address: sjuvm.stjohns.edu IBM Screen Reader List name: IBM-SRD listserv address: LISTSERV@VMI.NODAK.EDU ICADD - International Committee on Accessible Document Design List name: ICADD listserv address: LISTSERV@ASUVM.INRE.ASU.EDU L-HCAP - The Handicapped Digest List name: L-HCAP listserv address: LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU MOBILITY - Physical, social and emotional concerns of the mobility impaired List name: Mobility Listserv address: mobility@sjuvm.stjohns.edu RESNA - Discussion list for RESNA List name: RESNA Listserv address: resna@sjuvm.stjohns.edu RPLIST - Low Vision, discussion on retinitis pigmentosa List name: RPLIST Listserv address: rplist@sjuvm.stjohns.edu SPECIAL NEEDS Students Listserv address: k12.ed.special VAT-L - Vendors of Adaptive Technology List name: VAT listserv address: LISTSERV@KRAMDEN.PHAEDRV.ON.CA 2.0 NEWSGROUPS MISC.HANDICAP, contains information of interest to the disability community ALT.EDUCATION.DISABLED, information regarding the education of people with disabilities COMP.COG-ENG, cognitive engineering MISC.HEALTH.DIABETES, diabetes ALT.MED.CFS, Chronic Fatigue syndrome 3.0 ONLINE NEWSLETTERS ITD-JNL, Information, Technology, and Disabilities Journal Listserv Address: LISTSERV@SJUVM.STJOHNS.EDU CFS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Newsletter Listserv Address: bit.listserv.cfs.newsletter OPNACCES Digest Listserv Address: opnacces@virtconf.ntia.doc.gov 4.0 FTP SITES A.
