Am I able to request PDFs of a title for a visually impaired student?
We can provide electronic files to universities/colleges for students who require the work to be supplied in an alternative format such as Braille. Please note that we may not have electronic files for older titles.
We supply files to RNIB Bookshare which is an online resource that provides UK curriculum and language learning materials in a range of accessible formats that can be read electronically or adapted to suit the personal reading needs of learners. The service enables learners who cannot read standard print, including those with dyslexia or sight loss, to read the same books at the same time as their peers, giving them the same educational opportunities.
With RNIB Bookshare you can access thousands of accessible books from Macmillan Education ELT and School Curriculum Catalogues, and thousands of images in clear print and tactile formats.
