It is becoming ever easier to ensure textbooks are available in accessible formats before adopting them for course instruction. While not an exhaustive listing of places to procure alternate format textbooks, the Accessible Textbook Finder is a valuable resource for beginning a search. Searching here will return results that fit into one of three categories:
| Green | Yellow | Red |
| AccessText Network | RedShelf | Learning Ally |
| Bookshare | VitalSource | Open Library |
| Project Gutenberg | ||
| CIDI | ||
| Louis | ||
| National Library Service |
*Green - likely readily available
*Yellow - may be available with extra steps, sometimes extensive and/or costly
*Red - not likely available
