Abstract :
We present the results of research into the accessibility of digital resource centers (DRC) for visually impaired people. A questionnaire and a test of two software prototypes with blind users are the basis for a collection of design guidelines to improve access both to the application and to the multimedia resources by content administrators and end users.
