ACCESSIBILITY
Accessibility officials can find out if an electronic version of a book is available by searching BiblioVault for the title, author, or ISBN. If a book is not in BiblioVault, we cannot provide electronic files for it, and also not all books in the BiblioVault have suitable accessible files.
If the needed book is available in BiblioVault, choose the “Request accessible file” link on the book page. BiblioVault will fulfill the request as quickly as possible. BiblioVault may need to charge a service fee to cover the cost of preparing the file and transmitting it if a file cannot be delivered via email.
For more information, or to check on the status of a request, please email bv-help@uchicago.edu.
