Selecting Course Materials
Textbook publishers are supporting learning materials and developing and making available accessible textbooks. Please ask the VolShop about the availability of these texts and materials for your classes. Let your students know about the availability and how to get these materials.
To reduce any issues getting materials, please consider accessibility as part of your content.
