The American Library Association, as a member of the Library Copyright Right Alliance, filed comments
to the Library of Congress’ Copyright Office Friday regarding facilitating access to copyrighted works for the blind or other persons with disabilities.

The comments, which were filed jointly by the Library Copyright Alliance, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Internet Archive, and the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies, called for a multilateral treaty to resolve issues of accessibility for the blind and visually impaired.
