In July/August 2018, 57 organisations took part in a crowd sourced audit of publishers and platform providers. 141 people audited the websites of 58 publishers and 88 platform providers, providing 551 individual audits. The aim was to audit the accessibility information provided for their e-books/platforms and assess their content and practical usefulness for disabled students and those who support them. This webinar will present some of the key findings of the audit and explore both the implications and the opportunities for libraries.
