>> 
>> Thanks for responding!! I'll go back to the wiki page and update the images with alt tags - as suggested. 
>> 
>> Currently, the plan for the kiosk is for a person to browse and select a tour, then print their selection upon entry to the museum space.

>> After I read through Alison's notes from chat with blind user about museum experience ( http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Notes+from+chat+with+blind+user+about+museum+experience+%28January+13%2C+2010%29 ) we started to explore alternative solutions. 
>> 
>> One of the solutions we came up with was, a blind person preplanning a trip to the museums could visit the web site, browse and select a tour, then download the tour as a MP3. This would give folks an audio account of their tour. 
>> 
>> We are questioning the value of such a tool - any comments on possible solutions would be paramount at this time!!

>> 
>> Good evening Vicki, 
>> 
>> 
>> I noticed a couple of things about this Wiki page. 
>> 
>> 
>> 1. No mention of users who are blind and partially sighted. This may be a limitation of your project that I'm not aware of, so not a big deal if it is outside of the scope of what you're working on. 
>> 
>> 
>> 2. Although I didn't click on all of the links, I noticed that none of the images had appropriate alt text to let me know what I was looking at / what design plans you are considering. 
>> 
>> 
>> It definitely takes a little extra effort and attention to detail to make web content accessible, however, when we don't (I am guilty of it myself when I'm in a hurry) we reduce our potential audience, and limit the access that persons with certain disabilities have to information. In this case, limiting the feedback that a member of the community would be happy to provide regarding your design suggestions.
