Articles can be listened to using the option in the toolbar on the online HTML version of articles. The audio can also be downloaded as an MP3 file. Choose the Listen link in the HTML full text record of an article to hear the audio file. The platform and content are also compatible with a range of screen readers including NVDA, JAWS and Voiceover.

ColorVeil (available through AppsAnywhere) is effective for eye strain reduction, Dyslexia, Visual Stress or Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome.

Keyboard navigation

EBSCO resources are designed to be fully navigable using just a keyboard.

Read offline

Articles can be downloaded as PDFs where available, with no Digital Rights Management (DRM) restrictions. If using a screen reader, we recommend viewing PDF content on Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat as PDF content will often be more readable and more easily navigated by screen readers in Adobe Reader.
