Accessing Digital Textbooks
The Adaptive Computing Technology Center provides digital textbooks to individuals with disabilities. This service has been developed to convert printed text (such as textbooks) into electronic files. Students with disabilities can now access these files (books) anywhere, through a password-protected server, via the Web.
Important: By logging into the Textbook Server, you understand and agree that you will NOT revise, convert, disassemble, modify, sell, license, rent, loan or otherwise distribute the electronic text that we provide to any other person.

How Digital Textbooks Work
Once you have registered with your disability services office and it has been determined that you need digital textbooks, the process to create accessible textbooks begins:
- ACT Center staff takes the assigned textbooks and has the bindings removed.
- Once the textbook is in loose-leaf form, a high-speed scanner is used to scan the entire book.
- After the textbook is scanned, zoned, edited and spell-checked, the ACT Center will place the text into your personalized folder. You are the only person with access to your textbooks, and you must own a legal version of the textbook.
- You will then receive the assigned secure Web address and instructions on how to access your textbook(s) online.
The Adaptive Computing Technology Center will provide electronic text access and support for classes throughout the period you are enrolled.
