Frequently Asked Questions @ the URI Libraries

I’m a student with a print disability. Can I access accessible, digital books through the library?

For students who have qualified through the office of Disability, Access, and Inclusion, there are two options for accessible digital books. 

• Qualifying students may request access to any book in the HathiTrust Digital Library through their Accessible Text Request Service. More information can be found by visiting HathiTrust ATRS.
• Qualifying students can gain digital access to any book available through the Internet Archive Print Disability Collection. This requires setting up a free Internet Archive account and getting in contact with the office of Disability, Access, and Inclusion.
