DISABLED
STUDENTS The University Library
is pleased to announce the availability of two computer workstations dedicated to disabled patrons. The information needs of people with
disabilities vary greatly (as do the needs of all patrons), and integrating flexibility
into all Library systems
is a key to meeting its mission. One workstation is dedicated for patrons with low vision and is equipped with a large text high-contrast
Braille keyboard. This workstation is always set to high contrast large
text display. The other
workstation sits upon a height-adjustable table for patrons using
a wheelchair and also has the capacity to change the display from regular
settings to large high-contrast display for patrons with low vision. Both workstations possess magnifying software that allows
for the magnification of both text and images. These workstations are only one component in the University
Library’s continuing drive to better serve patrons with disabilities. |
