Post-Doctoral Fellow
Concordia University

Dr. Natalie Martiniello holds a Ph.D. in Vision Science (blindness and low vision rehabilitation) from the Université de Montréal, where she is a Research Associate and course lecturer. Her research focuses on accessibility and inclusion for blind individuals, with an emphasis on braille literacy, accessibility, and the inclusion of individuals with visual impairments within education and employment. As a person with lived experience, Dr. Martiniello has been deeply committed to advancing accessibility and inclusion for many years. She is the Past-President of Braille Literacy Canada and a director on the board of the International Council on English Braille.

Ensuring that the “World’s Knowledge is Accessible By All”: Canadian Blind Scholars Share their Experiences of Journal and other Digital Content

The Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) and its members are critical partners in the work of ensuring access to the world’s knowledge for a diversity of students and faculty with print disabilities. The 2016 CRKN model license was a step in the right direction. However, unless principles of accessibility are intentionally centred at all stages of CRKN’s activities - from procurement of academic journal subscriptions and eBooks, to negotiation with vendors, and the digitization of existing and often historic print resources - CRKN members may actually create and sustain accessibility barriers for disabled readers.
