[Athen] [EXTERNAL *] Re: Accessible APA Publication Manual

[Mark Weiler via athen-list]

When I compare the version available through CELA, which I understand comes through Bookshare, and the EPUB from APA directly, I observe significant differences in quality.  CELA has missing figures, no links, and lists that seem to use asterisks.  I base my observation on a spot check with JAWS.

I wonder if the one through CELA is actually different than the one through Bookshare? George, can you confirm that in the version from Bookshare, before section 5.2, there is a properly bulleted list that starts with “When writing about age, exact ages or age ranges…”.  In the one through CELA, this is a clip of the speech history with JAWS. Notice how it incorrectly starts with an asterisk:

* When writing about age, exact ages or age ranges (e.g., 15-18 years old, 65-80 years old) are more specific than broad categories (e.g., under 18 years
old, over 65 years old; see Section 5.3).

This image shows the corresponding section in the EPUB from CELA.

This second image is from the same section  in a EPUB directly from APA.  Notice it uses a bullet and also has a hyperlink.
