How to find braille, large-print, and digital textbooks.
For accessible textbooks, we offer a variety of options.
Finding accessible textbooks shouldn’t be hard, so we make it easy.
At APH, we’re driven to make sure students with visual impairments are able to receive their accessible textbooks as quickly as possible.
Step 1
Search the Louis Database. If you find your textbook in the format needed, place your order with the vendor offering it. If not, see step 2.
Step 2
If the textbook you are seeking does not appear in the Louis Database, just fill out this handy APH textbook order request form (options below). Then go to step 3.
Step 3
Search the National Instructional Materials Access Center (NIMAC) to see if a NIMAS file is available. If available, please assign it to APH as your Accessible Media Producer.
Get braille books fast.
