Accessibility Services for Users
The Rutgers Libraries are committed to collecting, acquiring, and developing digital and electronic resources that are accessible to all users. However, some materials may still present accessibility barriers. In this instance, Rutgers Libraries can supply remediated, accessible versions of digital or electronic collections for library users.
