Talking books

First you must report to Marita Fahrman-Cronheim who is the University´s co-ordinator for students with disabilities. She will help you setting up an student account at The Swedish Library of Talking Books and Braille, TPB.

As a student account holder at TPB you yourself can borrow course books directly from within TPB´s catalog. If you need any support just turn to the library.

The library will also assist you with the following:

1. Download and burn course literature (talking book, e-book, etc.)

• Bring us the list of books as soon as possible. Remember that in the beginning of the semester we receive many list and therefor it can take some time before you get your books.
• You can borrow a book for 180 days. If you need them longer than that you can extend your loans.
• When your order is finished you receive an email from us. You than have one week to collect your books.
• We appreciate if you notify us if you change courses or if you no longer want a certain book.

2. Order a new production

• If the literature you need isn´t in TPB´s catalog we can order a new production provided that the following conditions are met: ¹it must be an obligatory book, ²there are no alternative books that can be used instead, ³it must be a complete book
• When ordering a new production we need your TPB-ID as well as the startdate of your course. You can also specify if you want the chapters in a certain order.
• Be advised that a new production can take up to eight weeks if speech synthesis is used and 3 months if a human is reading the book.

3. Demo the TPB catalog and website

• Set up an appointment with us for a tutorial of the TPB catalog and quick navigation of the relevant information on the website.
