Royal Danish Library extends the transitional arrangement for access to the study collection for students in higher education outside the SPS scheme, which came into effect on 24 February 2025.
The extension means that students with a documented reading disability in higher education who are not covered by the special educational support scheme (SPS) can continue to use the study collection on the same terms as before.
The transitional arrangement will be extended until a permanent solution is in place. A permanent solution requires, among other things, that the study literature be made available in a usable format on the commercial market – a work that is ongoing but not yet complete.
