Description

Any library open to the public has a legal and ethical obligation to make their services accessible.

This book is intended to be a single-source guide relevant to all library functions that librarians can easily refer to when planning, remediating, or evaluating for accessibility.

It has a unique holistic perspective, as well as an emphasis on perceiving people with disabilities as providing resources to meet a common goal rather than as a population to be “served.”Accessibility is becoming an issue that libraries can no longer ignore.

Making the Library Accessible for All provides a holistic guide to accessibility that addresses common issues and gives strategies for responding to unique situations.

Topics addressed include:·Increasing effectiveness of interactions with patrons who have disabilities·Interpreting the real intent behind architectural and website accessibility guidelines·Making events and trainings inclusive for everyone
