Web access and the law: a public policy framework

Author:

Noble Steve

Abstract

This article details the public policy framework that establishes the legal foundation for requiring access to Web‐based information resources for people with disabilities. Particular areas of focus include: the application of the fair use doctrine to an understanding of disability access to digital information; the application of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act to Web‐based services; and the application of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act to Federal Web‐based resources and the extent to which Section 508 may be applicable to states through linkage under the Assistive Technology Act.
