ProQuest eBook Central: eBooks All Users

eBook Central is designed for patrons with accessibility needs, particularly the blind and visually impaired. We are:

• Targeting AA conformance level to W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) for features and functions
• Certifying for use with major screen readers (JAWS and VoiceOver)
• Formatting book content to be readable online and offline
• Working with third-party specialists in accessibility

Patrons using a screen reader may turn on accessibility mode themselves – no librarian or tech support needed!

For patrons who don’t use a screen reader but have accessibility needs, accessibility mode can be requested for their account at ebooksupport@proquest.com.
