Harvard Law Bulletin issue on Intellectual Property - including disability access to copyrighted materials

The Harvard Law Bulletin has a special Summer 2004 issue on Intellectual Property.

Be sure to take a look at the article about Martha Minow's project (yes, my sister :> ) that would make textbooks accessible to students with disabilities in a timely manner.

Even though copyright law was amended in 1996 to allow for digitization of materials for people with disabilities 17 USC 121, students get the materials long after their classmates if at all. Students with disabilities that are not visual (such as students with learning disabilities who could benefit from listening to a book using a screen reader versus reading the text) are not clearly included. If publishers submitted digital copies using uniform standards of digitization, schools could provide their students with books in time to actually use them.
