I taught Bill Skawinski how to search the web version of Scifinder Scholar

In October I wrote an entry about blind chemistry professor Bill Skawinski. Like any good faculty member Bill regularly uses the journals and databases offered by the NJIT Library. I came over to his lab today to help him get adjsted to the web version of Scifinder Scholar since he has used the client version for years. He uses a screen reading program called Jaws which creates audio from the text on a computer screen. He thought that the program was having difficulties reading from the graphical interface of Scifinder. I offered him my help in the future.
