Overall availability of material in alternative formats

5%-6% of book titles are available.

Not many newspapers are available: a few from DBB and a few more via its portal, (named after Section 17 of the copyright act) www.e17.dk. However, this is growing.

Very few magazines are available.

Asked about where an increase in output is most needed, respondents suggested that the material most needed was newspapers and other kinds of information which enables visually impaired people to participate on equal terms in the democratic processes of society.
