Barrier-free Access

We compile and provide literature for you

LUL assists users with handicaps by compiling and providing literature. Please place your orders at the service desks or via e-mail to info@ub.uni-leipzig.de

Accessible literature for the blind and visually impaired

LUL, in cooperation with the URZ, supports blind and visually impaired students and staff of the Leipzig University in researching and procuring accessible literature. Please send us requests for publications using this web form. If the required literature is not yet available in accessible form, LUL's processing service will take over and create a barrier-free accessible document as needed and in a timely manner. This service can also be used for study materials (for example lecture notes, presentations, transcripts). Questions and requests can be answered via e-mail at emedien@ub.uni-leipzig.de or by phone at +49 341 97-30685.

Loan

For borrowable items we offer an extended loan period of 60 days on demand.
