Accessible Content E-Portal (ACE)

The Accessible Content E-Portal (ACE) is a service from Scholars Portal that supports users with print disabilities at universities and colleges by providing access to books in accessible formats.

Only current Mohawk students and faculty who have a verified perceptual disability can request access to ACE. Users can browse or search the Library's collection of accessible material by logging into ACE with an assigned User or Admin Token which can be obtained by contacting the Accessible Learning Services department.

OCLS LEAP Project

The Library eResources Accessibility Portal (LEAP) is an assessment tool that allows library staff at participating colleges and universities to evaluate the accessibility of library eResources. This initiative is led by Ontario College Library Services (OCLS).

At the service level, LEAP helps Mohawk Library make acquisition decisions and advocate for accessible eResources. Mohawk College Library participates in the LEAP Project annually, completing accessibility assessments and adding them to the assessment repository, which is publicly viewable on the LEAP Assessments page. You can find out more about the history of LEAP on the LEAP OCLS service page.
