CHI 99 SIG: Universal Web Access: Delivering Services to Everyone Gary Perlman This is a summary of a SIG session at CH199 on "Universal Web Access: Delivering Services to Everyone" attempting to make simultaneous progress on multiple dimensions of diversity: Multilingual/lnternational/Multicultural, Handicapped~Disabled, Gender, Age, Economics, etc. Wednesday, May 19, 1999 2:30-4:00pm Abstracts separately specifying the functionality, the language strings, and the display format, and (2) setting parameters (e.g., dimensions, fonts, tables vs. lists) based on browser version, availability of.lavaScript, screen size, etc. Web pages are dynamically constructed based on function, data, and user options. The user interface architecture evolved over time, with several periods of reworking sub-optimal choices. Even when organized, there is a large cognitive overhead to developers to separate form, function, and language. To learn about techniques for increasing adaptability, I've found it useful to explore features on volunteer-run services such as(l) The HCI Bibliography site and search service and (2) a CGI script for presenting accessible versions of a variety of usability questionnaires in multiple languages. Some details are available in notes from a BuckCHI Presentation on Universal Access. 2. Electronic Curbcuts to Motivate Universal Access: What You Can Do The following made brief presentations
