SensusAccess allows students and staff to automatically convert documents into a range of alternative accessible formats such as Microsoft Word and audio. You can make an accessible copy if
- you have a print disability or if it's for someone with a print disability,
- you own the copyright (e.g. it's your own work),
- you have permission from the copyright owner,
- the copyright has expired,
- any other copyright exceptions that may apply, such as small ‘fair dealing’ amount for research and private study.
In addition to the above, students and staff may also convert documents produced by Leeds Beckett University in relation to course work and University activities, e.g. module handouts, course packs, lecture notes, without prior permission from the University. This does not apply to published works or material where the copyright owner is not the University, unless you have a print disability.
Copies should be for personal use only. Please ask Library staff if you are unsure which documents can be converted.
Please be aware of the Data Protection Act when converting and storing files that contain personal data.
Students with a print disability using SensusAccess need to agree that:
- the copy won't be shared with others
- you abide by the requirements of the disability exceptions in copyright law.
