Conference November 2013MTM and Swedish Daisy Consortium
• 1. What are we aiming for?• 2. What do we do and how do we do it?• 3. What do we accomplish?• 4. Lessons learned and what to be done?
What I am going to talk about:
• ”Equal access to knowledge, events (experiences) and participation”
• - Knowledge (textbooks, newspapers,..)• - Events (fiction, cartoons,..)• - Participation (study- and occupational services)
1. What are we aiming for?
• Attracting users (the more the better)• A number of varied titles and services (meet the users
expectations)• Anywhere, anytime, any mode• - Braille (very classic, very few)• - CD (classic, but strong)• - Download (maturity)• - Streaming (gazelle of the future?)• - Synthetic speech (more, faster, cheaper and
immature)
2. What and how?

• Successfull in attracting new users• Provision of services and products quite good• But,• We know a lot about ”what” and ”how”• And little about ”why”• We need (far) more evidence• Strong collaboration needed (international and across
institutions and businesses)• Passivity! How do we overcome the ”non-reading-
attitude” of young dyslexics?
Lessons learned and what to do?
