This study addressed, within the context of Australian public libraries, how people with disabilities can more easily share in the new world of instant information and communication offered by the Internet. Eight public libraries from Victoria and one from Wagga Wagga participated. The sample consisted of 85 adults with a variety of physical and intellectual disabilities. The first stage of data collection involved the evaluation of a range of different equipment considered suitable for public settings. The second stage saw the development of training focusing on the equipment recommended as a result of the evaluation stage. This paper presents results in the following areas: (1) evaluation of adaptive equipment and software, including Intellikeys, Enhancing Internet Access (EIA), trackballs, and the Opera browser; (2) selecting appropriate technology, including criteria to be considered, characteristics to avoid, and recommended equipment and software related to these criteria; (3) training for EIA and Opera; (4) training recommendations; and (5) access policies. Key project recommendations include: adaptive equipment/software need to be selected with care; attention needs to be paid to associated accessibility issues; disability awareness kits can play a valuable role for library staff; library staff require training and reference guides to use adaptive equipment/software effectively; and partnerships with local disability organizations should be established.
