printed on paper

Non-print materials are any type of media that cannot be physically printed on paper, such as audio and video recordings, DVDs, CDs, and online resources. Non-print materials are an important part of many libraries’ collections and can be used by patrons to access a wide range of information and educational resources. Non-print materials can be especially useful for patrons who have visual impairments or who prefer to access information in a different format, such as through audio recordings or online resources.
