Subject: [leadership] SPSS and JAWS - IBM requesting users to help
withaccessibility testing

As some of you know, IBM acquired SPSS (a commonly used statistical analysis
software package) a couple of years ago. IBM has recently become aware of
some accessibility issues with SPSS when using JAWS and other screen readers
and is working to address them.

>> > I was told that they are looking for students or professionals who use
screen readers and have access to SPSS with whom they can work to do
accessibility testing as issues are resolved.

>> > If you are interested in helping IBM with SPSS testing (or know of
students who would like to do so), please contact the following person (her
email and phone are included):
Laurie Riekmann
Senior Manager Research and Development Collaboration & Deployment Services
IBM Software Group, Business Analytics
Phone: 507-253-8120
