How do I reference accessible formats?
You may find that the format or software you use for studying means you are unable to exactly follow the referencing style required by your course. For example, it can be very difficult to locate page numbers in a PDF using a screen reader. Let your tutors and academic staff know about any referencing adjustments that may need to be made to ensure that they are suitable.
