Accessibility Mode for eBooks


Some of the MSMU Library's books are accessible via screen reader.

In order to use accessibility mode, you must have a personal account with the database (i.e. ProQuest eBook Central).  The account is free.  Just log in via the Database on the Databases A-Z page and click login (usually in the right corner of the screen).

For eBook Central, login and click on settings > profile.

Then, turn on accessibility mode.  You may also enable the OpenDyslexic typeface.

Make sure to click "save changes."
