Bibliovault - Accessibility FilesBiblioVault Accessibility Services
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.

University of Arkansas Press

If you are an accessibility official for a college or university, you can find out if an electronic version of a book might be available from the BiblioVault by searching for the title, author or ISBN in the search box above right (in the right-side navigation on this page). 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 suitable accessible files.
If you find that a book you need is included in the BiblioVault, please choose the "Request accessible file" link 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 may need to bill your accessibility office a service fee, to cover the cost of preparing the file and transmitting it if you cannot accept a file via email. For instance, we generally charge $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.
