What will happen if a publisher does not hold the electronic rights for all of the content contained in instructional materials?
As long as a publisher possesses print rights, the material is needed by an SEA or LEA, and the files will be used to produce Braille, large-print, audio, or digital text for blind or other persons with print disabilities, the publishers are given an exemption to copyright law to facilitate the transfer of NIMAS-conformant files directly to the National Instructional Materials Access Center (NIMAC). This copyright protection applies only to the files provided to the NIMAC and not, for example, to files that may be provided directly to SEAs and LEAs.
