Library Accessibility -What You Need to Know
Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies (ASCLA)
American Library Association (ALA)
http://www.ala.org/ascla/asclaprotools/accessibilitytipsheets
The ASCLA "Library Accessibility -What You Need to Know" toolkit series of
fifteen tipsheets was developed to help librarians in all types of
libraries understand and manage access issues. These issues include but
are not limited to: patrons who have cognitive, mental, or emotional
illnesses; patrons with learning and/or developmental disabilities;
patrons with service animals; patrons needing assistive technologies; and,
patrons with physical disabilities. Each tipsheet addresses a specific
concern, and was updated in 2010.
