Abstract
Do you want an accessible e-book? Come back in 2025
The new European Directive «on the accessibility requirements for products and services» is, in fact, a directive about certain products and services, and among the five mentioned on this directive, e-books are the product that libraries serving persons with a print disability – such as ONCE, the National Organization of Spanish Blind persons – are more interested in. Especially, because it refers not only to the e-books themselves, but also to all the devices and software programs required to achieve an accessible reading experience in that format: from the computer and its operating system to the e-book reader, including the webpage used to purchase and/or download those e-books. This paper also touches the limitations and vaguenesses present in the directive, evaluating its validity and its limited reach.¿Quiere un libro electrónico accesible? Vuelva en 2025
La nueva directiva europea «sobre los requisitos de accesibilidad de los productos y servicios» es, en realidad una directiva sobre determinados productos y servicios, y de entre ellos, a las bibliotecas que dan servicio a personas con una discapacidad que dificulta su acceso a la lectura de cualquier documentación impresa ―como la Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles (ONCE)―, los libros electrónicos son, de los cinco que la directiva aborda, el producto que más interés suscita. Sobre todo, porque hace referencia no solo al libro electrónico en sí, sino a todos los dispositivos y programas necesarios para llegar a una lectura accesible de libros en ese formato: desde el ordenador y su sistema operativo hasta el propio lector electrónico, pasando por la página web en la que dichos libros pueden adquirirse y/o descargarse. Este artículo reseña, además, las limitaciones y vaguedades que suscita la nueva norma, valorando su validez y su limitado alcance.Item Type: | Conference or Workshop Item (Paper) | ||||||
