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.
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.
If you have any questions concerns about the accessibility of library materials, let us know, at Library Accessibility Services.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
