A new workflow in Alma Digital for the provision of Accessible Texts to users with a print disability
Event part
Conference
Abstract
Acquiring and delivering accessible versions of high-demand taught course content texts for students with print disabilities is often a time consuming and manual process, usually extraneous to standard book acquisitions for other students in the cohort.
Integrating in-house digitised content with user management and access rights, has facilitated the construction of a repository of accessible texts, which unlocks only for specific users immediately at the point of need.
This session will walk through how LSE has changed its internal workflows and divisions of responsibility, around the delivery of these texts. Benefits, drawbacks, and continued pain points in the supply chain will be examined, particularly with developments still required from ExLibris (with Leganto and Primo) to integrate representation discovery limited to specific user groups and permissions; and initiatives around licensing for the Library sector to consider and agitate for in their jurisdictions will be proposed.
