Accessible library: Adjust view to suit you

Adjusting view

Make the screen work better for you

We all have preferences when it comes to browsers or programmes.The range of devices is huge. Computers and devices have accessibility features, but they differ. It is important to explore the options in your own devices, where and how to improve your reading experience. You can often find built-in accessibility features under settings, then ease of access, accessibility features, or accessibility. Check how to:

  • change the font: Arial and Times New Roman are among the easiest to read
  • increase the font size 
  • adjust the background or text colour
  • highlight text
  • space letters or rows.

Datero's website has instructions with photos for different devices.

Translating

Translation tools in browsers

If a web page is written with a language you don’t know, you can use your browser’s translation tool. Instructions can be found on the websites of different browsers. Note that the tool in your browser might send information to third parties. Don’t login to browsers or their translation tool unless it’s ok for you to share information about you outside Europe.

Translation tools in the library's databases

Some of the databases acquired by the library have their own translation tool. Those databases are marked with a globe symbol  on A-Z Databases list.
