One University's Response to E-Text Legislation Arrives at Open-Source Solution for All!
The 32nd Conference of the Association on Higher Education And Disability (AHEAD 2009)
July 20-25, 2009, Louisville, Kentucky, USA.
"Central Washington University's journey for compliance with Washington State e-text legislation facilitated development of a free open-source e-text reader available to the public. Come learn about this journey and how it's contributing not only to other Washington State institutions but also to the global cause of print accessibility. Participants of this session will learn about the inner workings of alternative format production at CWU, how one institution has responded to state e-text legislation, and how CWU's efforts could contribute directly to students success at other institutions"
