About this Event
What are academic libraries doing to advocate and better serve the community of people with disabilities? How does this work connect with serving the community overall on a university campus and making the learning process more accessible?
The discussion will take a broad view of the following:
• Access to information resources
• Technology (mobile technology, assisted learning design, E-reader use)
• Providing open access from an economic perspective (open access, pay walls; vendor participation)
• Access to physical spaces
• Collaboration/partnerships (present and future)
