ACTS ABOUT SIZE AND SCOPE
Currently, ATN is managing over 60-70% of U.S. universities and college requests for digital files; has over 20,000
files stored for immediate download; and, 2,300 post-secondary institutions are members of ATN. There is no
membership fee; ATN services are freely available.
ATN expects to exceed 100,000 requests for digital files by the end of 2015, an increase of 7% over last year,
compared to 22,000 requests received in 2010.
Currently, an estimated 92% of the college textbook market is a part of the ATN
O
UTLOOK
The future growth and development of ATN and its Document Accessibility Profiler are excellent in the U.S. as the
service continues grow by a rate of 7% or more each year. The perspective for growth of ATN-like services in other
countries is possible: the service is replicable and scalable as a business model for others to explore to make educational
content readily available to students with disabilities and the providers serving them.
