Disability Requests
Alternative access to Norton Books
If you need alternate access to a Norton book, you should first search Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic (RFBD) or Project Gutenberg to see if they carry it. We rely primarily on Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic to provide access to our titles for readers with disabilities. Project Gutenberg offers a large selection of literary classics in electronic form.
If a title is not available at Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic or Project Gutenberg, and if it was published after 2000, submit a request using our Help Desk. In most instances, we will provide PDF files that can be read aloud (using JAWS or the latest version of the free Adobe Acrobat Reader). Titles we need to order from our printer may take up to two months to arrive. We expect you to have purchased a print copy of the text before we provide the book in electronic format.
If you want a book published in or before 2000, we may still be able to provide the book in electronic format. However, we will have to scan the printed book, which takes time and is much more costly. Use our Help Desk to inquire about this possibility.
