About our Research Library
Our Research Library is open to anyone with an interest in the field of sight loss.
We have public PCs with JAWS and Zoomtext software for general use by blind and partially sighted visitors, and for research purposes by sighted users. There are also OCR scanning, audiovisual and photocopying facilities.
The library holds over 22,000 books, pamphlets, journals, reports, offprints and videos on all aspects of sight loss. Short abstracts are provided for many items, including journal articles.
Many items can be borrowed by residents in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
Contact the team to find out more about the titles in our collection.
