Does anyone have a view as to who is responsible for funding the transcription, in to tape audio format, of texts not produced or published by the university? It should be the responsibility of the university / college in the case of handouts, and marketing materials that they produce. But who pays for transcribing texts not produced by the institution, e.g. published articles or stories a visually impaired student would need for the course? My thinking / assumption is that it should be the institutions responsibility, but an RNIB transcription service suggest that the student's DSA could be funding it.
