One Format, Compliant Across the Catalog
Learn how Macmillan Publishers replaced title-by-title accessibility work with a single format selection applied across its catalog.
New EU accessibility regulations require publishers to apply consistent accessibility metadata across their entire catalog, not just new titles going forward. For teams managing tens of thousands of titles, doing this title by title creates a compliance burden that only grows with every new release.
Justin Nisbet, Senior Director of System Integration & Metadata at Macmillan Publishers, and Rachel Menth, Director of Systems Integration, explain how their team addressed this ahead of the EAA's compliance deadline. In this video, they walk through how a single format selection now applies accessibility data across Macmillan's full catalog, with results already visible at retailers.

"This is also a very scalable option. So if we start creating ebooks with new sets of accessibility features, we can just add a new format."
