Resource rooms with adaptations

At the University Library there are three resource rooms that you can book if you need support for reading and writing. There you can use computers with custom software for advanced spelling, magnification and speech synthesis among other things. A scanner is also available in each room.

At the Medical Library you can borrow a laptop with the same software installed.
