Many more academic titles are now becoming available (Claire, University Library)

At the University of Bath, library staff work with print disabled students to obtain the titles they need in alternative formats. They have been using RNIB Bookshare to help them do this since September 2016

Claire said that they are using RNIB Bookshare more now at the University; they have noticed that many more academic titles are now becoming available.

“When we first tested it a couple of years ago, we often couldn’t find the titles we wanted – now we often can.”

This comment reflects in the dramatic increase of titles that we have seen on the site, and the increased numbers of publishers and imprints that supply their electronic files to RNIB Bookshare.

“Feedback from our students has been very positive, not least the fact that if the titles are available the turnaround is very fast.”

It’s great to hear that print disabled students at the University of Bath are getting the titles they need, and they are getting them quickly!
