The BiblioVault can assist accessibility offices at institutions of higher learning, by providing access to books for students who have disabilities which prevent them from using these books in printed form. With the permission of the publisher, we can provide alternative access in cases where we have electronic files for these books in the BiblioVault.
At this time BiblioVault provides such students with electronic files (PDFs and/or plain text files) for books from the following presses:
University of Chicago Press
University Press of Colorado
Duke University Press
University of Michigan Press
Minnesota Historical Society Press
New York University Press
Northwestern University Press
University of Pittsburgh Press
Stanford University Press
University of Tennessee Press
University of Utah Press
Utah State University Press
Wayne State University Press
If you are an accessibility official for a college or university, find out if an electronic version of a book might be available from the BiblioVault by searching for the title, author or ISBN below. Please keep in mind that if a book is not in the BiblioVault, we cannot provide electronic files for it, and also that not all books in the BiblioVault have files suitable for disability use.
If you find that a book you need is included in the BiblioVault, please choose the "Request electronic accessibility file" button you'll find on the book page. The BiblioVault will fulfill the request as quickly as possible, although we cannot guarantee that you will receive files in less than two weeks.
The BiblioVault will bill your accessibility office a service fee, to cover the cost of preparing the file and transmitting it: $8.00 for FTP or email delivery, or $10.00 + shipping costs for delivery on a CD.
For more information, or to check on the status of a request, please email bv-help@uchicago.edu.
