As many of you know I was looking for work for the last few months, well I am happy to announce that I have secured employment. I have accepted the position of Manager of Accessible Technology at the Association for the Blind of Western Australia in Perth and will start immediately working form the U.S. while I await the clearance to enter and work in Australia.
You can think of my job as the Western Australian version of what Andrew Furlong does in Melbourne with Vision Australia. I will oversee the conversion of the tape library to DAISY format, help to manage the Beyond Books Beyond Barriers project for ABWA and the State Library of Western Australia (www.cucat.org/library/ and work in other areas of accessible media. I will also have a more formal position with Curtin University and the Curtin University Centre for Accessible Technology working on research and development of accessible technology. My wife, Tamara, will be working with me at ABWA developing a training programme for blind massage therapists and in braille production. I want to thank all of you for your help and suggestions over these last few months. I look forward to working more closely with the Daisy Consortium in the future.
