>This is a long shot, but has anyone used assistive technology -- e.g.,

>If yes, what library automation software and assistive technology

>software have you used together? Does the assistive technology software

>work well with the library software? What problems have you encountered?

>Any tips or tricks to get the assistive technology software to work?

>

>I've asked library software vendors how well their software works with

>assistive technology software, but most haven't even heard of assistive

>technology software, let alone know whether it will work (or not) with

>their library catalogs. Technically, of course, the library software is

>supposed to be compatible but it is almost never that straightforward.
