Requests for Alternative Formats

If you have a print disability, we can convert materials such as books, chapters, or assigned readings into accessible formats. After confirming eligibility, simply let us know what you need and in what format. Please note that some conversions may take several days to complete. 

ACE gives eligible users access to more than 24,000 digitized books in multiple accessible formats. To use ACE, you’ll need a token, which is issued once your eligibility has been confirmed. 

Students and faculty who are blind or print-disabled can request access to screen-readable PDFs from the full HathiTrust Digital Library collection, including books still under copyright. We will help facilitate access once you are registered through the eligibility process. 

If library-owned audiovisual content (e.g., DVDs, Blu-rays, streaming video) lacks captions or transcripts, we will provide them upon request. Instructors using personal course materials are also required to ensure captioning is available. We can offer support and guidance for that process. 

We work to ensure all library websites, digital catalogues, and online resources meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA standards and AODA requirements. If you encounter any inaccessible content on our site or on third-party platforms (e.g., databases or e-book providers), please let us know. We will contact the vendor and offer workarounds when needed.
