Hello Pauline
I'd really appreciate it if you could email me any response you receive on
this one. I'm currently working with the Library at Lewes Castle and have
been considering tablets and potable accessible equipment. Looking at
portable option is essential as the library is up steep steps.. and so
looking at alternative solutions is important. Also in addition to issues
you raise I'd also flag up the importance of magnification , screen
readers.. etc etc.. so if you have any particularly good examples that would
be extremely helpful. There are allot of models out there and I need to find
the most useful and cost effective too
many thanks
Regards
Liz Porter

Subject: Using a tablet computer to access a catalogue
