Disabilities
In accordance with our mission and in compliance with ADA, the Strozier and Dirac Libraries offer several services for patrons with disabilities. Both libraries are wheelchair accessible.
Services
In an effort to ensure access to library collections and services to patrons with disabilities, the libraries provide a number of services. The staff will provide services and/or accommodations aimed at equalizing access to library resources. The type and nature of the special assistance is usually determined by the request. While most special assistance can be given at the time of request, it may be to your advantage to make an appointment for non-routine accommodations so that appropriate staff can be scheduled to provide timely assistance. To make an appointment for services, contact Natalie Jean.
Some examples of the services that may be provided, in addition to service such as document delivery and interlibrary loan, include:
- Retrieval of materials from the stacks
- TTD access: Strozier - 644-6414 Dirac - 644-7058
- Physical assistance with searching the Libraries' online catalog and databases, and assistance with using microform and audiovisual equipment
- Reference or other assistance by appointment
- Photocopying assistance for on-site copying.
- Accessible Workstations and Adaptive Equipment
- In addition to wheelchair accessible tables and computer workstations in the libraries, Strozier Library has a private study room equipped with a variety of equipment to meet ADA requirements.
Adapted Equipment
