You know who are awesome? Librarians. I put in a request 5 weeks ago to see if we can get a scanned copy of a library book so that I can run it through text-to-speech software and read it for a paper I'm writing. Accessibility, right? My wrists hurt (a lot), and this helps.

The librarians got pushback from the publisher on scanning 4 chapters b/c that's more than 20% of the book. Potential violation of copyright. Needed for access.

So they bought the fucking ebook for me. #accessibility #ally
