I am research web accessibility, which looks at the design-features and tools available to people with disabilities that makes it possible for them to use the internet.

This article was in the EBSCOhost Academic Search Premier database, and it has 32 references. Many of the articles referenced seem to talk about web accessibility, assistive technology, or people with disabilities using technology; however, some articles referenced either do not seem to apply to my topic or are old in technology years with some dating back to the late 1990s, so I would need to be careful when looking through these referenced articles. Overall, many of these referenced articles could be relevant to my topic.

Palmer et. al (2011) has been referenced six times in the EBSCOhost Academic Search Premier database. Of these six articles, three of them seem like they could provide valuable information while the other three do not seem relevant to my topic.

Subject Term: AIDS for people with disabilities

EBSCOhost did a search for DE “AIDS for people with disabilities” which returned 1,395 results. After removing the DE and turning the phrase into a subject search, I actually returned even more results, 1,405. From here I added a search for AND web accessibility, I returned only two results. Fortunately, both of these results seem related to my topic and provided related readings that also appeared to be relevant. There are likely better searches I could do, but in previous assignments I kept coming across the same articles, so I wanted something that seemed a little more outside the box I had been looking at, and I feel like this search may have provided a new path for resources that I had not yet come across.
