Penguin Random House is partnered with Bookshare, a non-profit organization that makes our books accessible to persons with qualifying print disabilities. This service is protected under 17 U.S.C. § 121 of the U.S. Copyright Act to provide copyrighted materials in specialized formats to people with qualifying disabilities. A qualifying disability is a disability with a physical basis that affects one’s ability to read standard print. These disabilities included severe learning disabilities that affect ready, visual impairments (including blindness), and other physical disabilities.
Bookshare makes its services available, free of charge, to all qualifying students in the United States through an award from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). The organization provides texts in the DAISY file format (Digital Accessible Information System). Readers access texts on PC screens using special reading software that is free for download on Bookshare’s website. Readers can also download files to a variety of special reading devises that turn the DAISY file into synthetic speech and in some cases display the text. Additionally, Bookshare can supply a digital Braille file that members can read on a digital Braille machine or send to a Braile embosser to have printed out.
Bookshare has over 100,000 members, 100,000 books in their library and more than 130 partnerships with publishers. If Bookshare does not currently have files for the book in question, please contact Bookshare directly and they will work to get these files uploaded for you. Bookshare is responsible for providing alternative formats for all our texts, and these files are not available through Random House directly.
For more information on Bookshare or to sign up for membership, please visit http://www.bookshare.org.

It’s easy to build a customized list of titles leveraging the Wish List feature.
Tap the heart next to any book you wish to order. It fills in when you’ve added that book to your Wish List. (Tap it again if you wish to remove it from your Wish List.)
Visit your Wish List before you leave the site to download your collection of books. You can then email this collection to yourself or to a colleague. Note: depending on your computer preferences (i.e. you need to allow cookies), your Wish List may not be available the next time you visit the site so please do download your Wish List before you leave. Also, the download functionality may be impacted by the browser you’re using; in our tests, we noted that Chrome seems to work best with both Excel and PDF downloads. If you’re using Firefox, please “save” the Excel grid to your desktop before you open it.
The Wish List is not intended to replace ordering desk and exam copies online – rather it’s a tool to assist you in doing research into titles and/or creating customized lists which you can save and share with colleagues.
If you have a collection of titles in a web catalog that you would like to export and save for your records or for emailing to colleagues, the site supports this.
In the upper right hand corner of each web catalog page you will see a button that upon click will give you 2 different options for download:
The current maximum number of titles for each format is due the fact that larger lists don’t download properly.
We built out 4-across format list in PDF as we thought that format was the best combination of legibility and efficiency. That said, please let us know if you’re eager to get the 1-column or 6-column views as pdf downloads. If there is support for that kind of download formatting we’re happy to explore it more. Please let us know your preference and how you might use the new format download at HigherEducation@penguinrandomhouse.com
There are several paths to the category or theme you want:
Choose from the disciplines in the drop-down menu that you access by clicking on Browse By Discipline in the top left of the navigation.
Or click on Browse all …. in the drop-down menu to find the complete index of disciplines, sub-disciplines and course in the respective category you choose from. Try the type-ahead browse bar on top of the list to quickly find what you are looking for.
Or select the appropriate category from the homepage.
Once in a discipline, filter down to the sub-discipline or course that best matches what you’re looking for. Why is filtering important? Filtering will help guide you to the most appropriate titles for what you are looking for.
General note: in all filters, you need to click the Apply box at the bottom of the filter box to activate your choice. And you may have to scroll down the page to find and click on the Apply button if the filter has a lot of choices.
