Has anyone been received authorization back into Access Text Network (ATN) as of yet?

August 20th we received: “Once we have verified your eligibility you will receive an email from membership at accesstext.org<mailto:membership at accesstext.org> with instructions about activating your account.”
We still have not received that email to activate account.

Dear All:

We write to apprise you of the restoration of the Access Text Network (ATN) by the Association of American Publishers (AAP) following the sudden and unexpected termination by the previous host earlier this year. Working with our publisher members and the new vendor, we are preparing to re-launch the ATN portal this week. In re-launching the site, it became clear that rebuilding/restructuring of some of the site's functions would be necessary. As such, ATN users will need to create new accounts when the site is re-launched at https://accesstext.org/.

The process is straight-forward (and likely similar to the previous process). Each Disability Student Services Office (DSSO) will create an institutional profile, register the email addresses associated with the DSSO, and provide the requested information in the appropriate fields in the portal. You, on behalf of your institution, will need to accept the Authorized User Membership Agreement, which defines your responsibilities and privileges with respect to access to the portal and the use of the Publisher Works for which you have requested an alternative format copy (this agreement is materially similar to the previous agreement that governed Authorized Users). Upon receipt of your information, the site's administrator will verify your institution and authorize access to the portal. Your DSSO primary contact will receive notification when the authentication process has been completed.

Please note that the authorization process will take some time. If you have not received your credentials by early next week, please reply to this email to follow-up. Technical issues will likely arise; we will work as quickly as reasonably possible to address the issues that arise. This has not been a turn-key restoration.

We are also happy to connect you with the permissions department of the relevant publisher for any requests that the system cannot yet meet. To facilitate this, please provide all the relevant information regarding the textbook/educational material your student is requesting to this email address (accesstext at publishers.org<mailto:accesstext at publishers.org><mailto:accesstext at publishers.org<mailto:accesstext at publishers.org>>).

Thank you for your patience as we worked to restore the ATN service. We also thank the DSS offices that offered and provided their assistance to AAP as we worked through this process. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
AAP Team
