[Athen] Library partnership

[Joseph Polizzotto]

HI Jessica:

At UC Berkeley, our library staff has a team who will convert the library
books and articles for students who receive alternate media as an
accommodation. The team will create MS Word or text-based PDF documents for
our students. If more advanced formats are needed, the student can then ask
our alternate media team to complete the conversion of these files into the
other formats (e.g., braille, tactiles).

Each semester we send the library supervisor in charge of this task a
roster of our students who receive alt media. The library staff then
updates their patron records to include alternate media privileges.

HTH,

Joseph
