E-Access Areas

Introduction

E-Access areas provide access for disabled users to electronic resources. They offer a wide range of adaptive software and hardware and can be readily adapted to meet individual needs on request. E-Access areas are located in study areas across all campuses. These areas can be booked in advance, but can be used by registered and disabled users without a booking. Priority is always given to registered users and prior bookings.
