Make online reading easier: three accessibility tools worth trying

Accessing eresources can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with dense text or distracting layouts. To help, the library has created tutorial videos that walk you through some excellent accessibility tools. Here’s a quick overview of three tools that can make reading online resources much easier.

1. Read Aloud in Microsoft Edge

For students who learn better by listening or need to reduce eye strain, Read Aloud is a built-in feature in Microsoft Edge browser that reads webpages and PDFs aloud. You can choose from different voices, adjust speed, and select specific sections to hear. This tool is especially helpful for auditory learners and anyone who finds long reading sessions tiring. If you’re using Edge, you will find Read Aloud button at the right end of the address bar (you might need to click the three dots first) or you can turn it on using Ctr+Shift+U keyboard shortcut. Check out this short video on Read Aloud to see how to use it.

Accessibility Tools

 

  1. Helperbird Browser Extension

Helperbird is a versatile extension that helps make online reading more accessible. Its free features include:

  • Reading mode: Removes distractions for a cleaner reading experience.
  • Basic text-to-speech: Listen to content read aloud using standard voices.
  • Text adjustments: Change text size, spacing, line height and more for better readability.
  • Dyslexia tools: Use overlays and a dyslexia ruler to reduce visual stress and maintain focus.
  • Accessibility options: Reduce motion and highlight links for easier navigation.

These functionalities allow you to customise webpages to suit your needs, making reading less stressful and more efficient. You can add Helperbird extension to any browser, for instructions go to helperbird.com. For an overview of how to use it, see our bite-sized tutorial on Helperbird.

 

  1. Reader View Extension

Webpages often include ads and pop-ups that distract from the main content. Reader View removes these elements and presents text in a clean, simplified format. You can change fonts, text width, alignment, and colour schemes, creating a distraction-free space that supports focus. You can see how it works in this short Reader View tutorial. This extension is available for Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

Fancy Doing an Edinburgh Napier University Postgrad?

You may be a student with us who is coming towards the end of their studies and university journey, or you may be a student who has just graduated and is wondering what the next chapter in your career pathway is going to look like. What if we told you that your university career does not have to end here? A postgraduate degree or a Master’s course is essentially a qualification that can be undertaken once you have obtained an undergraduate degree. It allows you to gain specialised knowledge and skillset within a specific area or field of study. Edinburgh Napier University offers a wide range of postgraduate degree courses and qualifications – all of which tie in with our five prominent schools: The Business School, School of Applied Sciences, School of Arts and Creative Industries, School of Health and Social Care and School of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment. Find out more about postgraduate courses and degree programmes we offer on our Courses webpage.

Fun Fact

Fun fact: Edinburgh Napier University graduates and alumni are offered a 20% discount on tuition fees for any Master’s or postgraduate course of their choice. There are, of course, many more reasons why doing a postgraduate qualification with us can be beneficial to your career progression, employability and skills enhancement.

Benefits of doing a Postgraduate course with us…

  • It can make you a stand-out candidate in terms of employability and career progression. The specialised knowledge and transferrable skills which you can gain from undertaking and completing a postgraduate degree is often very attractive to potential employers whether you are looking to enter a specific career field or progress within an area which you may already work in. It can open many promotional opportunities in the workplace for you, or alternatively, give you the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in a new field or area if you are only just getting started with your career journey, or maybe even looking to retrain and change careers or direction. Many postgraduate courses that we offer are vocational and offer work placement opportunities as part of their course curriculum, which can ultimately give you the opportunity to acquire invaluable experience in a specific industry or field which can be an effective talking point in CVs, job applications and future interviews. In general, pursing and completing a postgraduate or Masters qualification demonstrates and shows dedication, commitment and ambition, and that you embrace new challenges and opportunities to progress – all of which can make you a stand-out candidate in job applications, interviews and the hiring process overall.

 

  • Network Building Opportunities. Doing a postgraduate or Master’s qualification is also great for networking and can sometimes even lead to paid employment or positions being offered within the specific company or industry that your assigned work placement was. Building expertise and a specialised knowledge in a specific area or subject also opens many doors in terms of integrating into a specific academic community or industry. You will often liaise and interact with academics and lecturers who can provide you with guidance and encouragement with your studies as well as exploring your options after university and future pathways. You will also come across many fellow students during your postgraduate course or Masters degree as well, where a chance to build a specialist and professional network may arise!

 

  • Building expertise in a specific field or industry. You may be a student who has just graduated from an undergraduate course, either with us or a different academic institution entirely. There may be a specific area or subject in your field which you feel you barely scratched the surface of and would like to study in further depth. A Master’s degree or postgraduate course usually provides the perfect opportunity to pursue a more specialised knowledge within a specific area or field of study and research. A higher level of independent study, in-depth research and analysis is often expected from individuals who choose to undertake a postgraduate or Master’s. This may sound overwhelming at first, but it provides a great opportunity for you to get stuck in with delving into a topic or subject area that interests you to an extent more than you would at the undergraduate level. This can often lead to further study and the chance to pursue a PhD, should research and academia be where your key interests lie.

 

  • Postgraduate study and Master’s programmes are often quick progression routes. While an undergraduate course can take up to four or more years to complete, a master’s or postgraduate qualification will often only take a year or two at most. This offers a relatively fast and time-efficient route to gain a qualification and transferable skillset to progress in your chosen career path, whether you are a new graduate waiting to start their career in a specific field, looking to advance within your current field or change direction entirely.

Postgraduate Information Event…

If this blog post has made you consider pursuing further study, whether it be a postgraduate degree or a Master’s course, we have a Postgraduate Information Event coming up on Thursday the 20th of November 2025. You can find all the information you need about enrolling on and what it is like to undertake a postgraduate course here. You will have the chance to speak to academics and staff about the degree programme you have an interest in pursuing, as well as advice regarding funding, admissions and student support available. You will also have the opportunity to talk to current postgraduate students about their experience at Edinburgh Napier University.

A History of Halloween

31/10/2025 / / 0 Comments

A History of Halloween

Are you sitting comfortably? If so, let me begin with a fascinating history of Halloween.

People trace the origins of Halloween back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrated around 2,000 years ago. This festival marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. During this time, the Celts believed that the boundary between the living and the dead was at its thinnest. To ward off ghosts and malevolent spirits thought to roam the earth, they lit bonfires and wore costumes. Moreover, the festival provided an opportunity to honour ancestors and seek their guidance for the coming year.

As Christianity spread, followers gradually incorporated Samhain into their traditions. In the 8th century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1st as All Saints’ Day, a day to honour saints and martyrs. This day was soon followed by All Souls’ Day on November 2, dedicated to praying for the souls of the deceased. Consequently, the Christian influence on Halloween led to the practice of trick-or-treating, which originated from the medieval practice of “souling.” In this practice, poor people went door-to-door on All Souls’ Day, offering prayers for the dead in exchange for food.

Despite the Christian influence, many people continued to practise the pagan traditions and beliefs associated with Samhain, especially in Ireland and Scotland. Notably, Irish and Scottish immigrants brought Halloween to the United States in the 19th century. Today, many countries around the world celebrate Halloween, embracing various customs and traditions that reflect its diverse origins. Ultimately, the holiday has become a time for dressing up in costumes, carving pumpkins, and indulging in sweet treats.

Halloween Traditions

The Halloween holiday, as people celebrate it in the West today, features unique traditions that have developed over time. Celebrations often include bobbing for apples, trick-or-treating, making Jack-o’-Lanterns, wearing spooky costumes, and telling scary stories.

While some of these traditions originate from ancient practices, others have adapted and evolved over time. For example, people trace the tradition of bobbing for apples back to a Roman festival honouring Pomona, the goddess of agriculture and abundance. Similarly, the practice of carving pumpkins into Jack-o’-Lanterns evolved from the original custom of carving turnips and other root vegetables. Personally, I would advise against trying to carve a turnip, as it proves nearly impossible and takes forever!

Halloween Celebrations Around the World

Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a Mexican holiday that takes place on November 1st and 2nd. This vibrant festival allows families to remember and celebrate their loved ones who have passed away. Many believe that on these days, the souls of the departed return to the world of the living to be with their families. The holiday features colourful parades, elaborate costumes, and offerings of food and drink for the deceased. While people often compare Dia de los Muertos to Halloween, it undeniably holds its own unique traditions and cultural significance.

Guy Fawkes Night

Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night or Fireworks Night, is a British holiday that takes place on November 5th. You can read all about it in our article here. This holiday commemorates the failed attempt by Guy Fawkes and his associates to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. People celebrate with bonfires, fireworks displays, and the burning of effigies of Guy Fawkes. While it is not directly related to Halloween, this holiday shares some similarities in its focus on fire and celebration.

World Festivals

Additionally, many countries around the world host Halloween-like festivals. Each of these festivals features unique traditions and cultural significance. In Romania, for example, people celebrate the Day of Dracula instead of Halloween. This event includes costume parties and reenactments of scenes from Bram Stoker’s Dracula. In Hong Kong, the Hungry Ghost Festival takes place in August and September, where families offer food and drink to appease the spirits of the dead. While these festivals may share some similarities with Halloween, they stand as distinct celebrations that reflect the unique cultural traditions of their respective countries.

Ghost Stories: A spooky tale of haunted Campuses

Creepy Campuses

Craiglockhart:

Many old buildings have ghost stories associated with them and Edinburgh Napier campuses are no exception. Of course, no one can prove if the sightings are genuine, but here are a few of the stories we have heard from staff….

From 1920 until 1986 Craiglockhart campus used to be a training college for Catholic teachers run by nuns. There have been many reports of a nun being seen around the old part of the campus and in the library which used to be a swimming pool. Apparently, she has been seen walking through a wall near the Rivers Suite and a joiner saw her on one of the upper floors. Many staff members claim to have had a feeling that someone is behind them when they are walking around the old building.

Cleaners say that taps in the toilets along from the library mysteriously switch themselves on and one of them has often spotted an old woman walking along the corridor towards the Hydra café early in the mornings before the campus is open for general access.

One morning library staff came in to find a bookshelf that had been hammered into place had been tipped up at one end and the books were in a heap on the floor. On another occasion, an interior glass panel was completely smashed when staff arrived for work. The panel had been intact when security had closed the campus the previous evening. When shelving books one evening a member of staff heard a thud behind them. A large book that had been lying flat on a shelf and not overhanging had mysteriously landed on the floor.

Craighouse

Our former campus at Craighouse is now a housing development, but it used to be the home of Edinburgh Napier from 1996 to 2011. It was built as a private residence around 1565. In the 1880s it was described as “a weird-looking mansion, alleged to be ghost-haunted” in Cassell’s Old and New Edinburgh. It was a psychiatric hospital from then until the early 1990s when it was sold to Edinburgh Napier. Some of the staff who used to work there claim to have smelled cigar smoke although smoking was prohibited in the building. There were also reports of a piano being played and a baby crying in an attic room. Cleaning staff caught a glimpse of a man wearing a long leather coat with slicked back long hair in the toilets. Furthermore, there were also rumours of underground tunnels leading from secret entrances.

Sighthill

Not to be outdone by Craiglockhart, Sighthill briefly had its own ghost in 2018

Open Access

Publishing open access: why and how

21/10/2025 / / 0 Comments

Publishing open access: why and how

Open access (OA) publishing is more than making research freely available online. Most OA articles use Creative Commons licenses, which allow anyone to read, reuse, and share work, as long as proper attribution is given.

Read on to learn more about making the most of ENU deals with journal publishers and about our new open access policy. But first, why publishing open access is important?

Benefits of open access publishing

Open access publishing is a powerful way to increase the visibility of your research. By removing paywalls, it allows anyone—academics, practitioners, students, or community groups—to read, share, and apply findings. This can lead to real-world impact, influencing policy, improving education, and guiding funding decisions. It also enables faster collaboration across institutions and countries, especially within large, diverse research teams. Open access turns knowledge into a shared resource, helping to drive innovation and positive change beyond academia.

Publish open access for free with publishing agreements

Article Processing Charges (APCs) can be prohibitively expensive, but you can make your articles open access without paying a penny, thanks to our Read and Publish deals with journal publishers. These agreements cover both reading journal content and publishing your own work. You can find the full list of ENU OA agreements on our Open Access Blog. Most of these deals will allow you to publish open access free of charge in subscription-based (hybrid) journals.  Make sure that you’re the corresponding author and use your ENU email when submitting. If in doubt, contact us at repository@napier.ac.uk.

Updated Open Access Policy

The new Open Access Policy has been introduced recently, and it gives the university and academics more rights over their work (also known as ‘rights retention’). Because authors retain copyright to their research outputs, their manuscripts can be made publicly available in the Research Repository with a Creative Commons license. This allows all journal articles and conference papers written by ENU authors to be made open access, even in cases where OA agreements don’t apply. The only thing to remember is to upload your accepted manuscript to Worktribe!

Need help? Check out the Open Access LibGuide or get in touch with the Library’s Research Repository team. Register to an online session on 11th November where you will learn more about open access publishing at ENU.

Open access in practice

20/10/2025 / / 0 Comments

Open access in practice

It is the Open Access Week, a perfect time to have a closer look at what open access is in practice, how we can benefit from it and what Edinburgh Napier does to support open research.

What is open access and why is it important?

Open access means research is published online under one of Creative Commons licenses.  This means it is free to read, share, and reuse legally. This removes paywalls and improves access to knowledge.
For the academic community, open access speeds up the exchange of ideas. As well as making research visible so it can have more impact. It also makes it easier to build on existing research which is essential for high-quality scholarship.
For students, open access offers clear benefits: free access to reliable, peer-reviewed sources for essays, projects, and dissertations. It also helps you explore the latest research without restrictions, and after graduation, you can continue to access scholarly work without relying on costly subscriptions.

How to find open-access articles

Finding open-access content is straightforward. Start with the LibrarySerach, where many open access articles and ebooks are indexed. You will see the open access symbol, represented by an orange open padlock, next to publications that are available through open access. When searching for literature on other platforms, look out for the same symbol. You might also use the ‘open access’ filter. Directory of Open Journals can be useful in finding scholarly journals that publish fully open-access articles.
Be sure to explore institutional repositories, which store research outputs such as journal articles, theses, and conference papers from our university and other institutions. You will find that often repositories have open access versions of articles that are published behind a paywall. These are usually ‘accepted manuscripts’ and are exactly same as published articles, but because they are plain documents, they can be shared openly in a repository. Use CORE to search thousands of repositories in one click.

The university’s new open access policy

It takes the entire academic community effort to support open research, and Edinburgh Napier does its part by introducing new open access policy, focusing on the role of our repository in sharing ENU publications. The new Research Publications and Open Access Policy allows staff to continue publishing in the journals of their choice while making their papers openly accessible in the repository.

Make the most of openly available knowledge and if you’d like to learn more, visit our Open Access blog.

World Statistics Day

World Statistics Day

20/10/2025 / / 0 Comments

World Statistics Day

Librarians love statistics almost as much as we love spreadsheets and shelving books – and today we celebrate World Statistics Day! Unlike the other World Awareness Days that we covered on the blog, which have spanned decades. World Statistics Day is relatively new to the global calendar, starting in 2010 and is only celebrated every five years, making each observation more important.

Statistics, you might think, is an odd day to celebrate globally. But statistics help the world go round. The reason why the United Nations have decided to mark their awareness is that statistics are important for social and economic tracking to bring in developing policies.

  • Highlighting the importance of evidence-based policies: Statistics are data that help governing bodies make decisions, whether it be about health care to climate change.
  • Tracking social and economic progress – reliable statistics help us measure employment, literacy and other services, which allows pinpoint areas that need attention.
  • Promoting transparency – transparent tats also hold governing bodies accountable and help the democratic process.

As information professionals, librarians understand the power of data to inform and the potential it has to inspire. So let’s give up for statistics and all the data professionals who help make sense of it.

Theme for World Statistics Day 2025

World Statistics Day has returned with the theme Driving change with quality statistics and data for everyone. The theme is the spotlight for the essential role that reliable, inclusive and high-quality data plays in shaping communities, societies and policies. The year also marks the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, giving more meaningful reflection on how much data collection/cooperation have come, all it has resulted and the potential it can.

 

Statistics have been foundational not only to the UN’s operations but also to addressing worldwide challenges such as peacekeeping, sustainable development, climate change, and public health. The global statistical community exemplifies international cooperation, bringing together professionals from all regions to establish standards, share methodologies, and ensure accurate, timely data. Trusted statistics enable policymakers, businesses, and citizens to navigate complexity and make informed decisions, helping to reveal critical issues and drive meaningful change. (https://www.un.org/en/observances/statistics-day)

Change is built on the information that statistics provide.

Previous themes have been

2010 Celebrating the many achievements of official statistics

2015 Better Data Better Lives

2020 Connecting the world with data we can trust

 

Join the 24-hour Global Statistics Webinar:

The UN Regional Commissions will host a 24-hour global webinar marathon featuring presentations around the world, which will highlight how statistics support development. You can find the link on the United Nations website.

Dyslexia Awareness Week

11/10/2025 / / 0 Comments

Dyslexia Awareness Week

This week is Dyslexia Awareness Week

What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a learning difficulty which affects millions of people all over the world. It is a life-long neurological condition which often runs in families and affects people’s abilities with reading, writing and spelling.

People with dyslexia may have difficulty processing and remembering things that they see and hear, which can have an impact on their learning. Dyslexia can also affect other areas such as memory, maths, co-ordination, time-keeping and organisational skills.

Under the Equality Act (2010), dyslexia can be classed as a disability. Dyslexia can affect children in education, adults in the workplace and situations in everyday life.

Everyone’s experience of dyslexia is different – it can range from mild to severe and can exist alongside other neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD, dyscalculia, dyspraxia and developmental language disorder.

However, dyslexia does not lessen an individual’s intelligence or potential. Many people with dyslexia achieve great success. Many famous people are dyslexic, including Jamie Oliver, Sir Lewis Hamilton, Keira Knightley, Sir Jackie Stewart, Holly Willoughby, Jennifer Aniston and Sir Richard Branson.

People with dyslexia have many strengths including being creative and observant. They can see patterns and trends in data and they are good at problem-solving, often having an intuitive understanding of how something works.

 

Dyslexia Awareness Week.

Dyslexia Awareness Week UK runs from 6th – 12th October 2025.

The theme for this year’s Dyslexia Awareness Week is “Raise the Volume” which aims to focus on young people with dyslexia – telling their stories about the challenges they face and what they have achieved. Raise the Volume aims to ensure that their experiences are being heard in schools, families, workplaces and the wider world.

World Dyslexia Awareness Day is on 10th October 2025 and is a global initiative which aims to raise the profile of dyslexia. It is committed to increasing awareness and understanding of the condition. It reminds us of the importance of supporting those with dyslexia.

World Dyslexia Awareness Day aims to promote inclusivity, access to education and the application of effective strategies to support the learning journeys of those with dyslexia.

 

 

Supporting People with Dyslexia.

There are a number of ways you can support people with dyslexia. First, learn about the condition and how it can affect people. Share information about dyslexia via social media to raise awareness; campaign for inclusive educational practices that accommodate students’ needs; support dyslexia organisations either by donating or volunteering;  and encourage and support those with dyslexia to achieve their goals.

Here at Edinburgh Napier University, the Disability Inclusion Team are available to ensure that every student has equal access to university life. The team can help students access the support they need during their time at university. The team work across all three campuses and offer support to students with a variety of learning difficulties, disabilities, and other support needs.

There are also a number of organisations which can provide information and support, including Dyslexia Scotland, The Dyslexia Association and British Dyslexia Association.
