A VIP SERVICE?

Have you kept up to date with the latest developments in services to VIPs (Visually Impaired Persons)?

High profile campaigns like Share the Vision and Right to Read are focussing attention on the needs of the VIP community to an unprecedented degree.

The Disability Discrimination Act and the Copyright (VIP) Act have transformed the legislative framework, making it possible for the first time to provide individual copies in alternative formats for VIPs.

At the same time ICT developments and the advent of e-books are bringing new means of access to digitised text.

Make sure you get up to date on:

ü the requirements of VIPs in the digital age

ü developments in large print and spoken word publishing

ü recent changes in copyright legislation

ü innovative public and academic library services

ü new service partnerships

ü new access technologies

with papers from our expert panel of VIPs, librarians, publishers and IT specialists.

Listen, learn, question and give us your own point of view in our Open Forum.

A full programme will be posted to our website on www.nag.org.uk shortly.
