In light of the Title II DOJ ruling, Milne Library would like to proactively assist faculty in obtaining accessible versions of course textbooks by offering information and guidance.
Using SUNY Incremental Funds, the Library has the opportunity to purchase accessible versions of course textbooks and required course texts ahead of the April 2026 deadline.
Milne Library will be ordering electronic versions of texts currently on Course Reserve, starting in the fall 2025 semester. Please be aware that not all textbooks have been published as ebooks. If this is the case, faculty will have to contact the publisher directly.
Faculty can expect to receive an email with more information about which texts have been purchased as ebooks and which texts will require contact with the publisher.
If you would like book(s) to be available to students as ebooks, which are not currently on Course Reserve, please submit a purchase request to the Library, and follow these steps:
1. Select “Electronic Book” in the “Format” section of the Purchase Request Form.
2. Select “Yes” to the question “Is this text required to meet an Accessibility need?” on the Purchase Request Form.
After submitting a purchase request, faculty can expect an email from Milne Library with a stable link for the purchased ebook or notice that an ebook was not available. In this case, faculty will need to contact the publisher directly.
Please note that ebooks are not placed on Course Reserve like a print book. Faculty can embed the direct link to the ebook in their syllabus or BrightSpace.
Library accessibility guidelines and policies will reflect those of the College and the wider community. These guidelines will also adhere to the College principles of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion since disability awareness and accessibility are important components of these.
The Library Accessibility Guidelines (LAG) Team is a group of staff members from different units within the Library whose job functions and/or research interests relate to accessibility. Members of the Team make every effort to address accessibility issues and maintain a current knowledge of accessibility best practices. When additional expertise is needed or if an accessibility issue within the Library cannot be independently addressed, members of the LAG Team will report it to the appropriate office, agency, or third-party vendor.
