EQUACCALA's Presidential Task Force on Equitable
Access to Electronic Content A website, www.equacc.ala.org, was launched on March 28 inviting commentary on the task force’s work in five areas: 1) issues, trends and education on providing accessible content to people with disabilities; 2) building more support and awareness that libraries play an essential role in the e-content world; 3) model projects, including case studies of libraries trying different models for providing accessible content; 4) understanding the existing market and future trends through an environmental scan; and 5) licensing, including the exploration of new and emerging business models for obtaining content from authors, publishers and vendors.
