Subject: Digitisation for students with special requirements: survey
Importance: High

 

Dear all,

 

We are currently reviewing the Digitisation Service for Disabled Students following a hectic Autumn term which highlighted some issues in relation to processes and staffing.

Coincidentally from the Lis-link messages in the last week I’m understanding that we might be coming across some of the same issues and I would be interested to know more specifically how everyone is managing the workload for this sort of request. I intend to share a summary of the responses, so we all benefit from the information.

 

The Library at University of Roehampton has a centralised Digitisation Service that includes:

·         CLA Digitisation Service for staff covered under the Higher Education Copyright Licensing Agency agreement, its main purpose is to make selected teaching and learning material more easily accessible to students.

·         Digitisation Service for Disabled Students (DSDS) covered under the 2010 Equality Act, its main purpose is to make teaching and learning material available in an accessible format to students who are visually impaired or those who cannot physically manipulate a book.

Could you please spare some minutes to answer the following questions?

 

1.       Who in your institution deals with digitisation requests for students with special requirements? Do you have a centralised Digitisation Service?

2.       Which special requirements do you cater for and which digitisation formats do you provide?

3.       How/who prioritises the processing of digitisation requests?

4.       Do you have a service level to meet or a target turn-around time to satisfy digitisation requests?

5.       Do you have an average number of students and/or requests per term or year?

6.       Do you have a link to information about your service? Could you please provide it?

7.       Would you like to make any other comments?

Please see attachment if you want to see the answers corresponding to my institution.

Thank you very much in advance.

 

Best wishes,
