The Hilda C. Landers Library provides a variety of equipment, software and services in support of the research needs of all individuals.
DAISY Players
DAISY players are available at the Circulation Desk for a standard two-week loan which can be extended up to one whole semester. DAISY files can be used to place bookmarks, search by line or chapter, and change the speaker’s speed without distorting or changing the pitch of the voice.
