color=#0000ff size=2>We provide the publisher with the information they
request. To deal with confidentiality concerns, we have student complete a
print to e-text conversion form that gives our office permission to pass the
student's information to the publisher. It also verifies that the student
bought a copy of the book and that the person is indeed a bona fide person with
a print disability. The reason we do it this way is that we want students
to be in the driver's seat. It's not the university that has the
relationship with the publisher, rather, it's the individual with a
disability. The role of the university disability service is to facilitate
the relationship between students with disabilities and the publisher.
Sometimes we DS professionals go overboard in confidentiality concerns, and we
have a bad habit of making the issue about us and not putting the correct
emphasis on the student's right to read. Should a student refuse to
disclose the information, we would probably find another way to get that person
an accessible book, such as hiring a human reader. It's just that we are
trying to change what it means to have a disability so that disability is
respectable. We want our students to be first class citizens, not the
objects of an agency's good works. Below is a cut and paste version of the
form we have students sign. We then just plug in the information on our
form onto the publisher's online form.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
