@misc{1090, author = {Alison Adam and David Kreps}, title = {Web Accessibility: A Digital Divide for Disabled People?}, abstract = {The focus of this paper is Web accessibility for disabled people. Much of the Web remains inaccessible or difficult to access by people across a spectrum of disabilities and this may have serious implications for the potential use of the Web for increasing social inclusion. The topic of disabled Web access is introduced through a consideration of four discourses: digital divide, social construction of disability, legal, and Web accessibility. The lack of dialogue between these permits a passive liberal approach toward disability discrimination to prevail and this political position has become inscribed in widely used automatic software tools resulting in a reinforcement of the view that Web site accessibility approval may, in many cases, be deemed an empty shell. }, year = {2006}, booktitle = {Social Inclusion: Societal and Organizational Implications for Information Systems}, journal = {Social Inclusion: Societal and Organizational Implications for Information Systems}, pages = {217 - 228}, doi = {10.1007/0-387-34588-4_15}, language = {eng}, key = {702}, }
