Print and electronic resources

Print resources

Library patrons can access the Library's book retrieval service by placing holds and recalls. Urgently needed materials can also be retrieved when required.

Eligible users also use campus book delivery to retrieve print resources.

We also offer patrons with print disabilities the ability to browse and request digitized print resources using our Accessible Content E-Portal (ACE).

The Adaptive Technology Centre has scanners in the study rooms, and an CCTV videomagnifier with OCR technology.

Library handouts are also available online in alternate format.

Electronic resources

Many of our ebooks and journal articles are hosted by external publishers. The accessibility of their platforms varies from publisher to publisher. If you have any difficulty accessing materials from these databases, please contact the Ask us service for help.

Open University maintains a list of tips for databases with known accessibility issues for patrons using screen readers and keyboard navigation.
