It might not be obvious but digital workflows are a great gift to disabled
people and, likewise, disabled people are great gift for digital publishing.
But it doesn't always seem that way, so let's explore the issues.
Alistair
McNaught (JiscTechDis) and Sarah Hilderley (EDItEUR) have written a new
advice note for ALPSP Members:
A guide to Accessible Publishing.
This topic will be explored further at the ALPSP International Conference in
September when Huw Alexander (SAGE)
will be chairing the session Accessibility - are you missing a strong market
for your content. Drawing together some of the key players within the
sector, the speakers will seek to unpack the issues experienced by
publishers, users and institutions and map out how publishers can develop
their online products to be accessible to as wide an audience as possible.
The session will examine the issues from various viewpoints and provide
practical advice and opportunities for discussion. See www.alpspconference.org for further information about the conference programme and registration.
