Dear all, I may have asked this question before, but it's just raised its head again here at Roehampton. We have a digitisation service, whereby we can digitise books and journal articles for students with visual impairments and those whose physical impairments make it very difficult to manipulate a book. We have just had a request in, asking us if we can digitise materials for severely dyslexic students. My understanding is that this would break the copyright laws, does anyone know this for sure? Also, if we could do this for severely dyslexic students, how would we measure who out of our 400 or so dyslexic students really and truly needed their books in a digital format, does anyone have any ideas on what indicator we might use to determine this? I look forward to hearing from.
