We try to buy all core books on reading lists in an electronic format, if available, as well as in print. However, not all electronic material is accessible.
If you need image-only PDF files, scanned documents, pictures of text and Microsoft PowerPoint presentations in an alternative format, you can use RoboBraille to convert it into a wide range of formats, including EPUB, PDF, DAISY and MP3.
If the required text is only available in print or if the commercial eBook is not suitable please see step 2 below for more options for obtaining alternative format files.
If accessible materials are not commercially available, we will make an application to the publisher or via RNIB Bookshare for alternative format files. Where electronic files or alternative formats are not available we may be able to make an in-house accessible copy of essential reading items where this is reasonable. Please note that complex material can take longer to reformat.
Please note requests can take up to 6-8 weeks, please make your requests in good time before your module starts.
If you would prefer to discuss your needs prior to making a request, please email library@rhul.ac.uk.
Alternative formats are for personal study only, for the duration of your course and must not be shared. A full list of usage terms will be sent to you with each alternative format.
