Index Number: 12694 The American Foundation for the Blind's national database for users of adaptive equipment for blind and visually impaired people passed a milestone on January 11, 1988, when the 1,000th resource person was interviewed. The User Network is part of a larger database compiled by the American Foundation for the Blind's National Technology Center (NTC). It provides blind and visually impaired consumers, professionals in the blindness field, employers, and researchers with information on assistive devices. The NTC was established to help blind and visually impaired people participate fully in the computer age by undertaking high technology research and development, evaluation and database services. To generate information for the User Network, NTC staff conduct personal interviews with people who use computer products, reading aids, talking products or electronic mobility aids, or who train people in the use of these devices. For more information about the User Network, contact Elliot Schreier, Director, National Technology Center, American Foundation for the Blind, 15 W. 16th St., New York, NY 10011, (212) 620-2080. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!107!607!Tzipporah.Benavraham Internet: Tzipporah.Benavraham@f607.n107.z1.fidonet.org
