Jean,



We’ve been pushing for accessibility standards and request VPATs in recent
license negotiations.



We’re not a Big Ten school, but the Big Ten Academic Alliance has
standardized accessibility licensing language that is really good. We
request vendors include it in the license. Vendors may request minor
adjustments to the language but it’s a good place to start, and we will
negotiate those changes if their terms are still acceptable.

Hi all, I am on a committee that is looking into the accessibility of our
e-resources. I am interested in hearing if any of you are actively
incorporating accessibility standards in your e-resource licensing and
procurement – such as accessibility statements in the license or requesting
a VPAT from the vendor.



Much appreciate any insight you can provide!



Best, Jean
