ROAM was produced by the Ontario Council of University Libraries with support from the Government of Ontario. The report includes: an environmental scan including current practices, legal framework and future trends; technology workflows and methodologies; questions and some answers for libraries about accessible media provision; options for libraries to provide accessible collections; a directory of commercial and crowd-sourced services specializing in accessible media production best practices; suggested resources ROAM webinar series.
