- Is Web Conferencing Software Ready for the Big Time? Accessible IT Peters, Tom Bell, Lori Computer Software Internet Teleconferencing Access to Computers Accessibility (for Disabled) Libraries This month's column focuses on online Web conferencing software. This year promises to have the right mix of conditions to create significant growth in the use of these systems among libraries; library consortia, networks, and associations; and other library-related organizations. Travel budgets are being cut, librarian positions are being reduced, and remaining staff members are expected to take on additional responsibilities and to multitask as much as possible. As people spend more time on the Internet both at work and at home, librarians (and everyone else) will be conducting more meetings, conferences, and workshops on the Web. The authors also address the accessibility of Web conferencing systems for people with vision, hearing, and/or mobility challenges.
