dear MCGers,
Have you been working on a project which uses digital media to widen access
to information, collections and learning for disabled people? If so, we
would like to hear about your project.
Summer has just started and Nominations for the Jodi Awards are now open
(until 21 September).
The Jodi Awards celebrate practice that inspires locally, nationally or
internationally. They are for museums, galleries, libraries, archives and
heritage venues which use digital technology to provide a shared experience
for disabled people.

Waterfront Museum <http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/swansea/> in Swansea,
Wales. A seminar about digital inlcusion for disbaled people will be held
during the day.
The International Jodi Awards 2011 will be given on 8 December at the
