Abstract
Public libraries face a unique challenge when building a collection that includes accessible format material for people with print disabilities, as a very small percentage of published material is available in accessible formats. In Canada, the National Network for Equitable Library Service (NNELS) offers a forward-thinking solution to this predicament. NNELS is digital library of accessible-format material; this paper argues that NNELS’ model of user-driven, participatory, and publicly-owned accessible format collection-building, provides an innovative way for public libraries to meet the needs of their print-disabled communities.
