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.
Royal Danish Library's Nota service
Royal Danish Library's Nota service is the national, nationwide library for the blind, visually impaired, dyslexic and others who are unable to read printed text due to functional impairment. Nota service produces and distributes, among other things, books, magazines, newspapers, pamphlets and sheet music in audio, Braille and electronic form and functions as a central hub for public libraries' audiobook lending.
Royal Danish Library's Nota service also provides special educational support in the form of specially designed study materials for students with dyslexia in primary and secondary education and for students with visual and reading disabilities in higher education in agreement with the Danish Agency for Education and Quality (STUK).
