The formation of collaborative networks has contributed to the improvement of inclusive actions in universities, bringing new perspectives to accessibility issues and favoring dialogue to resolve the demands presented by people with disabilities. Rede Rebeca is the first Brazilian network for collaborating with academic collections in an accessible format. Its objective is to bring together higher education institutions that develop the same products and services, providing technical cooperation and exchange of works in an accessible format. This work aims to present the activities of REBECA and describe the processes adopted by professionals who are in centers, laboratories and libraries accessible to people with visual impairments in Higher Education Institutions (IES). The present work is characterized as an experience report of the actions developed by the Network. The research participants were professionals from Brazilian federal public universities. The methodology is the bibliographic survey on collaborative networks in libraries and the documentary analysis of records and reports from 2018 to 2021. Regarding the results, the Network currently brings together 18 institutions that add 60 professionals, benefiting approximately 180 users. The activities are carried out by 06 work groups with specific themes, which are: communication, repositories, standardization of manuals, audio description, musicography in Braille and mentoring (for aspiring institutions). It can be concluded that REBECA's actions bring benefits in terms of support to library services for people with visual impairments. Whether guiding common standards of good practice in producing materials in accessible formats, creating accessible digital libraries, exchanging documents and technical information. The dialogue between the professionals who are in the first line of care allows improving the processes and strengthening the fight against the exclusion that still persists in the institutions.
