I've been asked if there are useful university-focused
textbooks or other resources suitable for teaching
accessible web design.
Hi Laura, if you didn't know already, these are superb live resources in
addition to books:
http://www.accessify.com/
http://www.accessifyforum.com
http://www.gawds.org/
Books don't debate best practice like more dynamic sources so I'd be careful
how they were used by students. That's not to say they aren't extremely
useful though. Perhaps the WCAG would be the place to start along with case
studies to demonstrate practical technique - contrary to the myth its pretty
easy to read (and even easier with a tutor explaining as you go)
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/. There's also a working draft of the WCAG 2.0
too: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/. Supplementing that with judicious samples
from the sites listed to flesh out the practice of accessible design based
around the WCAG etc would top it off nicely.
The RNIB has good resources on web practice:

also a useful article on UK law:
