Hi Lorna, see http://www.archimuse.com/mw2006/papers/brown/brown.html in which I and David Gerard describe a set of heuristics for evaluating the accessibility of web sites and you may be interested in the professional forum run by Brian Kelly and myself at this years museums and the Web conference http://www.archimuse.com/mw2007/papers/kelly-brown/kelly-brown.html. There is a blog entry on it at http://ukwebfocus.wordpress.com/ We shall be presenting a paper based on the ideas discussed in the forum at this years W4A conference http://www.w4a.info/
