Our services: Getting started with the Library: Disability support

Disability support

We have a dedicated team to support students and staff with library-related queries, concerns or requests regarding accessibility. 

We can help you by:

  • providing one-to-one inductions to the Library
  • offering support with reading list material
  • book retrievals
  • providing reading in accessible formats for eligible students and staff. 

For more information, or to enquire about more personalised support, please email library.disabilitysupport@durham.ac.uk.
