FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York, NY – October 23, 2024

Fordham University Press (FUP) is proud to announce the ongoing expansion of its Digitization Project, adding 20 titles spanning a wide range of academic disciplines to its digital offerings. This initiative makes these valuable works globally accessible and inclusive for visually impaired audiences, aligning with the mission of FUP and Fordham University to disseminate knowledge widely and equitably.

Previously available only in print, these books faced limitations in reaching critical audiences who require different formats. The continued digitization effort overcomes these barriers, increasing both print and digital readership and expanding the global impact of these scholarly works.

“We are excited to make these essential titles accessible to a broader audience,” said Fredric Nachbaur, Director at Fordham University Press. “By expanding our digitization efforts, we ensure that our publications can be read by anyone in the formats they desire, preserving these works for future generations.”

The Digitization Project enhances accessibility by providing formats compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies, supporting visually impaired readers worldwide.
