Introduction

This website is a collaborative facility jointly organised by the JISC Techdis service and the Publishers Association. The purpose of the website is to enable educationalists working with disabled learners to get an electronic version of published texts as quickly as possible. This website focuses on UK publishers. It is not related to the similar service run by the Association of American Publishers. Their website (http://www.publisherlookup.org/) is recommended for US based publications.

This website, like any large database, may occasionally be out of date but publishers are asked to inform us of any changes and a reminder is issued on a six monthly basis. Whilst every reasonable effort is taken to ensure the content on this site is accurate and up to date, neither the JISC Techdis service nor the Publishers Association can accept responsibility for errors or inaccuracies, nor can they get involved in any specific negotiations between library services and publishers.

One of the benefits of a collaborative database is that it is possible to provide added value - not only via links to publishers and their websites but also to a wealth of supporting information on making texts available to disabled learners.
