Excellent New Library Service for the
Visually Impaired!
10/31/2003 01:38 AMInfoEyes: an Online Information Community and
Virtual Reference Services for the Visually Impaired
"Under the leadership of the Illinois State Library Talking Book
and Braille Service, the Mid-Illinois Talking Book Center and the
Southern Illinois Talking Book Center are pleased to announce the
opening of InfoEyes(http://www.infoeyes.org) on
November 3, an online information community and virtual reference
service for the visually impaired.
Talking book readers, other visually impaired individuals, and
librarians are invited to use the trial service. Through the service,
library customers can get assistance using the Internet, finding
information on the Internet and in periodical databases and reader
advisory service. Librarians will be using OCLC Question Point
Enhanced software to provide services which include voice over IP,
co-browsing, and application sharing. The trial will run through July
30, 2004. It is hoped that more libraries in other states serving the
visually impaired will join Illinois in providing these services.
Customers will be asked to evaluate the service and resources to help
librarians in developing the service. Hours of service are posted on
the web page and it is hoped that as more libraries join the service
that hours can be extended. If customers want service outside of those
hours, they can schedule an appointment or a reference session.
As the project develops, more information will be posted on the
website. Tom Peters of TAP Information Services is the project
evaluator and will write an evaluation of the project which will be
made available when the project ends. If you have questions on the
service, please contact Lori Bell (lbell@alliancelibrarysys
tem.com) of the Mid-Illinois Talking Book Center or Diana
Brawley Sussman (dbrawley@shawls.lib.il.us<
/A>) of the Southern Illinois Talking Book Center." [The Handheld
