Tomás and the Library Lady

Tomás is a son of migrant workers. Every summer he and his family follow the crops north from Texas to Iowa, spending long, arduous days in the fields. At night they gather around to hear Grandfather's wonderful stories. But before long, Tomás knows all the stories by heart. "There are more stories in the library," Papa Grande tells him. The very next day, Tomás meets the library lady and a whole new world opens up for him.

Accessible Technology vs Copyright Law

Accessible Technology vs Copyright Law

Description:
Two things a state university must guarantee in its use of technology are these: (1) protect the rights of copyright owners; (2) provide alternative, accessible versions of instructional material to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Unfortunately, these two principles are frequently incompatible. With a focus on accessible technology we will discuss the possible cacophony of laws related to these guarantees.

Presenter:
Marion Smith from CSU Dominguez Hills
