Confession: I have never thought about accessibility in my role as an author before. Thanks to Michigan Publishing and U of MN Press for calling our attention to how authors and publishers can partner to produce born accessible content! #btaalib19

Really exciting project focused on minimizing duplication of efforts and getting accessible materials into users’ hands ASAP. Here’s to hoping that many more partners come on board!

Glad to see "investing in resource sharing services and systems" highlighted in this brief. Resource sharing is essential to providing access to a collective collection, and investment is required to modernize and optimize ILL services.
