wonder if at some point we could achieve something more: the assurance
that all electronic books include embedded description text for any images
(photos, graphics, charts, etc.)? And, of course, it would be even better
to ultimately have ACB, through its Audio Description Project, benefit from
contracts with book producers for the production of that descriptive material.

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align=center><B><U>JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REACHES
THREE SETTLEMENTS UNDER THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT REGARDING THE USE OF
ELECTRONIC BOOK READERS</U></B><o:p></o:p></P>
<P> WASHINGTON <SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">–</SPAN> The Justice Department
today announced separate agreements under the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) with Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Pace University in New
York City and Reed College in Portland, Ore., regarding the use in a
classroom setting of the electronic book reader, the Kindle DX, a hand-held
technological device that simulates the experience of reading a
book.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P> Under the agreements reached
today, the universities generally will not purchase, recommend or promote use of
the Kindle DX, or any other dedicated electronic book reader, unless the devices
are fully accessible to students who are blind and have low vision. The
universities agree that if they use dedicated electronic book readers, they will
ensure that students with vision disabilities are able to access and acquire the
same materials and information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the
same services as sighted students with substantially equivalent ease of
use. The agreements that the Justice Department reached with these
universities extend beyond the Kindle DX to any dedicated electronic reading
device. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P> These agreements follow the Jan.
11, 2010 agreement between the Justice Department, Arizona State University, the
National Federation of the Blind and the American Council of the Blind
concerning the use of electronic book readers.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P> “Advancing technology is
systematically changing the way universities approach education, but we must be
sure that emerging technologies offer individuals with disabilities the same
opportunities as other students,” said Assistant Attorney General Thomas E.
Perez. “These agreements underscore the importance of full and equal
educational opportunities for everyone.”<o:p></o:p></P>
<P> A handful of universities
participated in a pilot project in cooperation with Amazon.com Inc. to test the
viability of the Kindle DX in a classroom setting. The terms of the
Justice Department’s agreement with each university become effective at the end
of the pilot projects.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P> The current model of the
Kindle DX has the capability to read texts aloud, so that the materials would be
accessible to blind individuals, but the device does not include a similar
text-to-speech function for the menu and navigational controls. Without
access to the menus, students who are blind have no way to know which book they
have selected or how to access the Kindle DX Web browser or its other
functions. The technological “know how” to make navigational controls or
menu selections accessible is available.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P> Other universities, such as
Syracuse University and the University of Wisconsin at Madison, also examined
the utility of the Kindle DX as a teaching device and decided that they would
not use the Kindle DX until it is accessible to blind individuals.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P> In passing the ADA and the recent
ADA Amendments Act, Congress found that individuals with disabilities were
uniquely disadvantaged in critical areas, including education. It is a
core priority of the Civil Rights Division to strengthen and expand the
educational opportunities for individuals with disabilities.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P> The ADA prohibits discrimination
by public accommodations on the basis of disability, including discrimination in
private post-secondary institutions. Those interested in finding out more
about these agreements or seeking information about and how to comply with the
ADA can call the Justice Department’s toll-free ADA Information Line at (800)
514-0301 or (800) 514-0383 (TDD), or access its ADA Web site at <A
