Summary:The Chaffee Amendment of 1966 eases some copyright restrictions on instructional materials by allowing authorized entities, such as the National Library Service for the Blind and the Physically Handicapped, to reproduce and distribute copies of previously published literary works (with some exceptions) in specialized formats for people with visual impairments and other print disabilities. The National Center for the Study of Supported Electronic Text (NCSeT; http://ces.uoregon.edu/) has undertaken a systematic five-year program of research to investigate the effectiveness of nine types of e-text support for five disabled populations through a rigorous program of experimental research (Anderson-Inman, 2005).
