In the realm of publishing, accessibility is not just a regulatory checkbox—it’s an opportunity to broaden the audience, enhance the usability of content, increase discoverability, and showcase the publisher’s commitment to inclusivity. For organizations still navigating the landscape of accessibility, our latest report offers practical insights to help integrate accessibility into the publishing process effectively.

Accessibility of books, journals, digital products, websites, and other content is essential to individuals with disabilities. Accessibility also holds important benefits for users (including students, researchers, and libraries) and publishers. Yet it remains a secondary consideration with some in the publishing community. When accessibility is well executed, it can expand readership and provide a higher-quality user experience for everyone. It aids publishers with the rapidly growing area of search and keeps content vibrant for future applications. Overlooking accessibility is akin to ignoring the artificial intelligence discussion taking place.

Compliance with key standards in accessibility will become increasingly important as libraries, consortia, and governmental bodies require publishers to verify that content complies with the many well-established standards such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, European Accessibility Act of 2025, and others.

What does accessibility actually mean to publishers, and how do these diverse content creators take advantage of this important business opportunity?

Many publishers remain skeptical that there is a true ROI for making content accessible. This updated edition of our landmark report examines the importance of accessibility for a publishing organization and provides key takeaways to implement accessibility into publishing strategies and workflows.
