Bookshare: an Online Accessible Library for People with Print Disabilities
https://www.bookshare.org/
Using Bookshare® is simple and easy. You can search for a specific book title or browse through the library and its special collections, including newspapers and magazines. With a Bookshare membership, you can download accessible titles onto your computer and read them at your convenience. A variety of reading tools give you a range of options for reading your downloaded books.
Bookshare™ provides the world’s largest online library of accessible reading materials for people with print disabilities. Individuals can sign up for membership and access the library on their own. Organizations that serve individuals with print disabilities (schools, libraries, community centers, etc.) can sign up and provide access to their students or clients.
A Bookshare membership offers unlimited access to accessible books, textbooks, newspapers and magazines. Additionally, free access technology makes it easy to read books with a computer.
Through an award from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), Bookshare offers free memberships to U.S. schools and qualifying U.S. students. (all above information is directly from www.bookshare.org)
Check with your building team to see if a colleague has set up a school account already. If so, you can register all students who need the materials through one school account. If you are the first, just follow the directions on the Membership page to create an account for your building.
