Greetings!  This Thursday afternoon beginning at 4:00 Eastern Daylight Time, 3:00 Central, 2:00 Mountain, and 1:00 Pacific there will be a one-hour online interview with Geoff Freed.  Freed is the Project Manager of the Beyond the Text Project at the CPB/WGBH National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM).  They are studying ways to make multimedia (images, audio and video) used in e-books accessible to people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind or visually impaired.
