Hi all,

You might already have seen this but just in case -- the Open Access Books Network (OABN) is running a free webinar on Monday 27 April at 3pm BST about how to make OA books more accessible, and it will feature Copim's accessibility work.

We've got a great panel of speakers: Jo Fitzpatrick will be talking about the free resources Copim has developed to help small presses with accessibility; Richard Orme of the DAISY Consortium will be talking about why accessibility matters to readers and the free tools DAISY have developed to help publishers (including a brand new tool to help publishers produce accessible files); and James Rice from White Horse Press will talk about how a small press has tackled the challenge of making accessibility a priority despite operating with small budgets and constrained resources.

I hope this will be of interest to some of you on this list. There's a blog post about the event (although that essentially says what I've put in this email!) or you can register directly: https://univ-amu-fr.zoom.us/meeting/register/qpnL-2wxTbuB9abb8-qmww#/registration

All best wishes,

Lucy
