by Jane Vincent
Part of the Practical Guides for Librarians series
Paperback / softback
Description
Libraries have an ethical, and usually a legal, obligation to make their services accessible to disabled patrons and employees.
Making the Library Accessible for All is a single-source guide that librarians can refer to when planning, remediating, or evaluating accessibility.
With a unique holistic approach, it emphasizes the perception of people with disabilities as partners in meeting a common goal rather than as a population to be “served.” Topics addressed and updated in this second edition include:Multiple interviews with librarians and other experts in the field about proven accessibility strategies for libraries, personal experiences, and cutting-edge innovations; Innovations in providing assistive digital technology, many of which are free or built into common programs;An overview of changes coming to accessibility guidelines for digital content;Up-to-date information on legislation that may affect some or all libraries;An evaluation of how the COVID pandemic has changed both library services and patron needs
