The Alternative Formats Service is available to students and staff who cannot access printed resources, and provides accessible copies of books on module reading lists and for independent research. This includes eBooks and PDF files which can be adapted to suit individual needs, including being read aloud using screen reading or text-to-speech software. The Library Disability Support team can show you how to use assistive software to access your reading in a way that works for you.

The service works with publishers and other organisations to obtain files but may not always be able to source everything on a reading list or that is requested.

If you are a student and have completed the Disability Advice Service Self-Referral Form, and you are eligible for this service, the Library will email you with further details. If you have not received an email from the Library regarding this service, but feel you would benefit from it, please contact LibraryAltFormats@leedsbeckett.ac.uk

Please note that your course team is responsible for ensuring the accessibility of course documents.
