Other Resources
RNIB Bookshare can provide accessible copies to students with a defined disability (e.g. dyslexia, visual impairments) as long as the library owns a copy of the original text. They can provide copies in a word document, where fonts and colours can be manipulated for optimum reading, or as a pdf, which can be used with screen readers on some of the library computers so the text can be read out to you. Email Frank.Trew@bruford.ac.uk for more information.
