Guidelines
In order to use the facilities in the office of Library Services
for Persons with Disabilities, you must qualify for services under the Office
of Disability Services. The following lists these guidelines:
- Only persons with a documented disability and who need
to use assistive technology can use the room.
- Non-disabled patrons may only be in this room if they
are assisting a disabled person.
- If you are new to the facility, you must arrange for an
orientation with the coordinator of disability services. The orientation
will explain the available services, provide training on the various assistive
software and hardware, and explain accessibility hours and other library
policies.
- Because the room is staffed only between 8:00 am to 4:30
pm, Monday through Friday, after hours and on weekends, a key to the room
is available, upon request, at the west exit service desk. In order
to obtain this key, the patron must sign a form and present a University
ID or a government issued picture ID (e.g. driver's license). Also,
after hours and on weekends, patrons must also sign a form provided in the
disability service room.
If you have any questions regarding these guidelines, please
