As the pandemic lockdown made clear, resources available only in print form have limited to no accessibility for many readers. In October 2021, UIP received a grant of $199,794 from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to expand its e-books program. These funds will enable UIP to add 200 titles to its already substantial e-books list. The funding provides support for: • Salaries for staff and student workers; • Permissions fees to reproduce rights-protected material in e-book form; • Scanning and cleanup of electronic files; • Addition of alt-text descriptions of illustrations to aid print-impaired readers; • Converting books to various e-book formats; • Promoting our expanded e-book catalog. The proposal went through a rigorous vetting process at the University of Illinois before moving forward to NEH as the sole representative of the UI System.
