AMELib (Accessible Multi-modal Electronic Library) is an accessible digital library in Greece, designed specifically for persons with print disabilities (persons with visual impairments or other difficulties in reading conventional printed material).

Key features:

• Implementing body: Developed and maintained by the Hellenic Academic Libraries Link (HEAL-Link).
• Purpose: To provide equal access to academic and educational material for students, researchers, and members of the academic community who face barriers to reading.
• Available formats: The collection comprises 3,323 electronic books, offered in accessible formats such as EPUB, accessible PDF, DOCX, audio (MP3), DAISY, and files suitable for Braille embossing.
• Of these, 550 have been appropriately adapted for persons with print disabilities by the staff of our Library in Kalamata–Antikalamos, which also provides services to students of all Schools of the Institution who require them.
• Legal framework: The library operates in accordance with copyright legislation (the Marrakesh Treaty; Law 4672/2020), which permits the reproduction and adaptation of protected works exclusively for use by eligible persons with print disabilities.

Access:
Access to the platform is provided through the official website, amelib.seab.gr. Registration and verification of print-disabled status are required, and are carried out through the library of the user’s academic institution.
