Accessing ebooks and ejournals in accessible and audio formats Online

Would you like to know more about tools and services to make online resources more accessible for our users? The Libraries Accessibility Service is offering an online training session (this is a repeat of a session offered in March 2024 but with updates) covering:

  • Explore accessibility features on VLeBooks
  • Explore an audio version of a journal article
  • Find out about audiobooks available through BorrowBox (new) and O’Reilly
  • Discover RNIB Bookshare (new interface), the Alternate Formats Service and the copyright exception for print disabled students
  • Find out how to convert files to other formats using SensusAccess
  • Have a list of free reading support and screenreader tools to try

Some of the tools/services covered are available to all members of the University, while others are only for eligible students.

These sessions will take place on Microsoft Teams. We will share the link a few days before the session.

For further information, or if there is anything we can do to make the session more accessible for you (including slides in advance), please contact disability@lib.cam.ac.uk.
