  1. The new interface is clean and I’m very happy that Gale-Cengage is using a high-contrast for people with low vision. Thank you for keeping this population in mind. My library has been working to provide better service to people with disabilities. I will mention this upcoming interface change to the low vision group at their March meeting.
