Video Collections
A large portion of Rose Library’s DVD collection is closed captioned. For more information on the corrective action being taken by the library to ensure a collection of captioned materials, please see the Correction of Library Owned Non-captioned Video Material Five Year Plan.

Closed captioning availability varies on videos available to students and faculty through streaming video servers like NBC Learn and Films on Demand. 

Databases

The majority of the databases provided to you by the Jim & Patsy Rose Library are ADA compliant. For more information on accessibility with some of our most popular databases, see below.

  • EBSCO 

All HTML articles in EBSCO databases have a text-to-speech option and an option to download the audio file as an MP3. However, many articles are not available in HTML. EBSCO PDFs after 2004 are ADA compliant.

For more information on EBSCO’s accessibility see their Research Interface on Accessibility.

  • JSTOR

JSTOR’s image based PDFs have been automatically tagged so that they can be read with screen readers like JAWS. Where tagging is not sufficient, manual tagging can be requested for a limited number of articles. See the JSTOR accessibility policy for details.
