Global Cooperation in French Point of View
The AVH and ABC Global Book Service enhances accessibility for print-impaired individuals in France through diverse services, including braille and audiobooks. This collaboration facilitates the exchange of books between AVH and ABC, leading to benefits such as cost savings and improved service quality. The initiative involves requesting specific titles, obtaining rights permissions, and downloading books seamlessly. Through the ABC Global Book Service, users are introduced to new titles, producers, and authors, expanding the range of accessible books in various languages. The cooperation tool also focuses on developing metadata for accessible documents and aims to grant access to over 355,000 accessible materials in the Marrakesh context.
