The libraries provide some services to help users with disabilities using library resources.
Students with physical disabilities can borrow books directly from home without coming to the library
All users with a long-term or temporary physical disability, can use the service. Those who have not already submitted to the University their disability certificate can use this self-declaration form and send it to the library of choice.
It is possible to request a copy in a digitally accessible format of the books belonging to the University of Florence. This service is possible thanks to the accreditation as an authorized entity by the Ministry of Culture and thanks to the agreement with the Biblioteca Italiana per i Ciechi "Regina Margherita"- ONLUS which convert texts in other formats (braille and enlarged characters)
The service is available for users who are blind, visually impaired, with perceptual or reading disabilities, or with certain physical disabilities (see Law 633/1941, art. 71bis, paragraph 2 ter.)
