Alternative formats
You will save time when producing alternative formats if you create documents with accessibility in mind.
It is a legal requirement to provide documents, leaflets, electronic resources, etc, in an alternative format if requested.
Alternative format examples:
- large print
- braille
- a paper copy of an electronic resource or vice versa
- electronic resource in an alternative format, e.g. Word document instead of PDF
Documents do not need to be produced in alternative formats until a request has been received. However, ensure you produce accessible videos (with corrected captions).
Alternative Formats Service
The Alternative Formats Service provides accessible copies of library resources to print disabled students and staff.
