ABA’s Virtual Library Services for Blind and Visually Impaired People

Today, Internet technology provides a multitude of low-cost solutions for small organizations to become on-line services providers. On the other hand, advances in assistive equipment and software interfaces expanded the opportunities for blind and visually impaired people to communicate and access information via Internet. In this context, the ABA conducted a pilot project with the aim to offer on-line library services to its beneficiaries. Several issues have been
raised during this project concerning digital content production, access, protection and distribution via Internet.
