Please see Accessing CiCS Services for details of other, free assistive software which is available via the University network.

Can I book to use the software?

Some PCs can be booked in advance by students via the myPC link in MUSE. Use this for Inspiration and TextHELP Read & Write.

Lex and Readit can be booked by both students and staff in person at the appropriate site.

Can I borrow headphones?

If you are using screen reading software, please remember to always use headphones to avoid disturbing other Library customers. If you do not have your own with you, please ask a member of Information Commons or Library staff to borrow a pair.
