Steve Gilbert =============================================
SPECIAL OFFER FOR LIBRARIES
EASI provides TWO ways to help
you make your facilities more friendly and accessible for
customers with disabilities. Register for any one of EASI's
courses on accessible information technology and qualify
for a $445 discount on a CCTV. EASI's courses provide
online month-long training in making information technology
accessible to people with disabilities. A CCTV is a
magnification device for customers with low vision that
will magnify print and make your books, journals, magazines
and newspapers readable. A CCTV is simple to handle even
for customers who are seniors. This tool will enable you
to keep serving some of your most loyal supporters as their
sight begins to fade in later years. It may be useful to
some of your staff as well.
The Pulse Data CCTV available at a discount is the
SmartView 1000. The 1000, originally manufactured for
distribution to schools and libraries throughout Canada, is
no longer a production model. The 1000 is presented as a
one-piece unit and is shipped in one box with the monitor
attached. Magnification up to 25x can be achieved with this
unit. Removing the attached monitor and connecting a 20-
inch television monitor will provide magnification up to
45x. This unit carries a three-year warranty and is ISO
9002 quality certified. This space-efficient video
magnifier is very useful in classroom and library settings
because of it versatility, durability, ease of use, and
economical price.
The 1000 is currently listed at $1695.00 plus $60 shipping.
EASI's special offer to librarians registering for one of
EASI's online courses on accessible information technology:
$1250.00 for the CCTV (plus $60 shipping and handling).
EASI is grateful to Pulse Data, the manufacturer, for
enabling us to make this special offer. Registration for
EASI courses is $350.
EASI online courses are:
* Barrier-free Information Technology,
* Beginner Barrier-free Web Design,
* Advanced Barrier-free Web Design,
* Barrier-free E-learning,
* Accessible Multimedia,
* Accessible Adaptive Technology for Users with Learning
Disabilities,
* Train the Trainer.
Information about these courses, online registration and a
description of the Certificate in Accessible Information
Technology offered by EASI in partnership with the
University of Southern Maine is on the web at:
http://easi.cc/workshop.htm
For more information on the courses or the special CCTV
offer, write Norman Coombs, Ph.D. nrcgsh@rit.edu and please
put the words "CCTV Offer" in the subject line.
Please forward this announcement to librarians at colleges,
schools or public libraries.
