Talking books
If you study at Halmstad University and have a reading disability you can get your obligatory course literature adapted to another format and made available through the service Legimus.
What are the rules?
A reading disability means that you need to have a printed book adapted to be able to read it. There are many reasons why someone might have a reading disability, such as dyslexia, visual impairment, physical disability or something else that makes it difficult for you to read printed text.
The most common format is talking books, but there are other formats as well, like Braille.
How to get access to adapted literature
Contact us so we can give you an introduction to the service Legimus and talk about your various options. If you already have an Legimus account from another library, simply log in to "Mina sidor" in Legimus, and change your library to Högskolebiblioteket i Halmstad under "Mina uppgifter".

To borrow and read talking books
Information on how you as a student can borrow and read talking books using the Legimus app and the EasyReader program can be found on the Legimus website (only in Swedish), but we will also show this during the introduction. The university also provide a reading program called ClaroRead.
