AB: Creating accessible content must be done in collaboration between the subject matter expert and the accessibility expert. How do you make a graph or image accessible to someone who cannot see it? Just giving a descriptive title is not sufficient. This presentation will discuss this, Section 508 requirements, and other topics related to presenting accessible scientific information on the web and in museum kiosks.
