Editoriales y Casas de Conversión

El NIMAC trabaja con editores que son contratados por autoridades educativas estatales y locales para producir libros de texto impresos y materiales básicos en formato NIMAS. El NIMAC también sirve a las Casas de Conversión, que convierten materiales impresos en archivos NIMAS para los editores.

Submitting NIMAS files to the NIMAC

Under IDEA 2004, publishers of K-12 instructional materials are required to produce and submit NIMAS files to the NIMAC when customers include this requirement in the language of their print book purchase agreements and adoption contracts. Publishers are also welcome to submit NIMAS files to the NIMAC voluntarily or in anticipation of such contracts. For more information on how publishers work with the NIMAC, check out our FAQ!
