How can educational agencies cooperate to avoid duplicating effort in producing accessible textbooks?
A proven method of effectively leveraging resources for students with disabilities is through instructional materials centers. In most cases, these centers will be designated by their states as Authorized Users of the NIMAC. In open territory states where purchasing decisions are made at the district level, local districts will coordinate with the state and its designated AUs. The NIMAC also encourages all AUs and AMPs to share information about accessible formats that they have available for sale or loan to others by listing those materials in the Louis Database of Accessible Materials found at the APH web site.
