How would a blind or print disabled person read… a book, powerpoint or leaflet

We are recruiting volunteers to adapt books for print disabled & Blind people. To find out more information please visit our volunteers page.

The service aims to support the organisation to make information suitable & accessible at source for print disabled users.

The three core objectives for the service are:

  1. Develop and distribute University-wide accessible Microsoft Office templates, which meet the needs of print disabled people and the University’s business requirements (Branding, Data storage, DPA &  FoI)
  2. Establish a Service to convert on-demand material for print disabled people
  3. Develop targets and an information strategy to preferentially purchase accessible information resources (e.g. books, e-books, journals, online-databases)

The project will enable collaboration between Information Service, Information Communication Services, Library & Learning Centre, and Disability Services to deliver support for all University departments.
