The library wants to create a physical environment that meets the unique needs of all patrons. In collaboration with the Office of Disability Services, the library has implemented physical spaces that help ensure patrons have access to library resources. See more information about these spaces below.
The library has two wheelchair accessible workstations located on the 1st floor. These workstations have open availability, and they are available on a first come, first serve basis. Both workstations are marked with a blue disability placard.
The Office of Disability Services' Assistive Technology Lab is located on the 3rd floor of the library. This room is only available to students that have a disability services card. To access the room, stop by the Access Services Desk, located on the 2nd floor of the library, and let them know you would like to use the Assistive Technology Lab. The Access Services staff will ask to see your disability services card.
The following assistive technology is available for use in the lab:
Hardware device that allows for enlargement of text up to 60 times the actual size.
Easy to use software programs that magnify the computer screen, word processors, spreadsheets, databases, online services, and more.
A powerful accessibility solution that reads information on your computer screen using synthesized speech.
This award-winning text-to-speech software is a reading, writing, and study skills solution for struggling learners, including ESL students and students with disabilities.
Software that makes printed or electronic text readily available to people who are blind or visually impaired. It combines accessibility, communication and productivity tools to ease and enhance the reading, writing and learning experience.
Software for Windows and Mac that makes it easy to capture full recordings of classes and meetings and to work with that audio. The software makes recordings of speech a real, tangible thing, by visualizing audio as chunks, phrase-by-phrase.
