Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

This section is a kind of interactive appendix to the text, with various resources to help in teaching the text, understanding and creating digital media accessibility, and following up on the blogosphere chronicled in the text.
First, there is a listing of Disability Blogs that were referenced in the text and continue to have live, public web presences.
Secondly, there is an Overview of Web Accessibility that explains some common requirements, coding practices, and errors using an example from the website of The New York Times.
The list of Accessibility Resources provides direct links to policy documents, resources for developers, and accessibility initiatives referenced in the text.
