Accessible Resources
NSCC Libraries provides accessible library services and resources to support NSCC students and employees.
NNELS
NNELS stands for the National Network for Equitable Library Service. NNELS provides published books in a variety of accessible formats in Canada for people with print disabilities.
Books can be downloaded in multiple formats (i.e. DAISY 2 and 3, MP3, e-text, EPUB 2 and 3, PDF, BRF, and audio).
The NNELS login via Nova Scotia Community College is in the process of changing. We recommend visiting your nearest Nova Scotia Public Library for NNELS access.
