If you have found a print book in the Library that we don't have in ebook format, you can request a chapter from the book to be scanned and sent straight to your inbox through the Scan and Send service. Likewise, if we have a journal in print but not electronically, you can request an article to be scanned and sent to you. This is subject to Copyright restrictions - please see the Scan and Send page for more information.
The Library wellbeing webpages contain lots of information on how to make written text more accessible. This includes advice on the use of accessible equipment and assistive technology, information on using screen readers, converting files into accessible formats, as well as the RNIB Bookshare scheme which some students who are registered with Wellbeing and have a PASS plan may be entitled to.
If you are looking for an ebook or online journal, search for the title on the search box on the Library homepage. Simply, enter the title of the book or journal article in the search box and press search. There are a number of ways you can refine your search using the options in the left-hand column of the results page. For example, if you only want to use journal articles you can refine your search by selecting 'Academic Journals'.
You can also use the publication finder to search for ebooks and online journal articles. Enter the title of the book or journal article in the search box and click on the magnifying glass.
