What are accessibility tools?
We want every student to feel confident using library resources and to have full access to everything available through the Library Portal.
As a fully digital library, Arden University Library Portal offers a range of built-in tools and features to enhance accessibility. Below, you’ll find more information on the accessibility features and tools available.
