• Requirements for publishers are in the contract terms, not state law

• “…Right of state to reproduce the state adopted materials in Braille, large print… for use by print disabled minors. The publishers shall agree to furnish to AK or its designated depository, by 90 days after the request, computer diskettes for all adopted texts.”

• School districts can borrow materials from the School for the Blind and Visually Handicapped which is not a formal repository but has a lot of materials.
