[Athen] Issuu?

[Brad Held]

Rachel,
I have been hoping the publication platform would take accessibility serious the past two years. Our ENTIRE university at UCF<http://publications.ucf.edu/> is using this platform thanks to our marketing department pushing it. I could only marketing to make an accessible statement at the bottom, but this isn't equal access by any means.

Subject: [Athen] Issuu?

Hi, all.

Are any of you using Issuu<https://issuu.com/> or a similar service for web publication of materials designed for print? We have a college that produces newsletters for several of its departments and they are considering Issuu to embed newsletters in their websites. It doesn't appear to be accessible and their forum doesn't have much discussion at all about making content accessible.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Rachel
