Sorry about that. Here is the text of the email:

Dear Sir / Madam:

The Center for Inclusive Design and Innovation (CIDI) has a long-standing commitment to serve the needs of students with disabilities by providing access to information in formats that are the most accessible to them.  Unfortunately, Georgia Tech has been unable to negotiate an agreement to continue operating the AccessText Network (ATN).  Specific questions regarding ATN should be directed to the Association of American Publishers (AAP).

CIDI will continue to provide students with high-quality accessible formats for their educational needs.  For more information about CIDI services, please visit

Warm Regards,
Maureen Linden, Executive Director

Greetings,

I just received this email. Have any of you heard anything related to this? I haven't worked in higher ed disability resources long enough to remember a time before AccessText existed. I'm not looking forward to alternate format work without it.
