Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! I'm attaching a short PDF that gives background on the project we're doing and some of the issues we're interested in covering. The intersection of copyright with accessibility issues for the disabled is a very important area that we really want to be sure we discuss with folks who are working on the front lines. 

 

The interviews we are doing at this stage are completely confidential. We are hoping to learn how copyright concerns create friction with library mission so that we can formulate a code of best practices that alleviates some of that friction. We'd love to talk to you and any of your colleagues who you think would be interested in helping us.

 

Best,

Brandon
