This book serves as an educational resource for both groups"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Understanding the needs and abilities of patrons who are differently abled increases librarians' ability to serve them from childhood through adulthood. While some librarians are fortunate to have had coursework to help them understand the needs and abilities of the differently abled, many have had little experience working with this diverse group. In addition, many persons who are differently abled are--or would like to become--librarians. Disabilities and the Library helps readers understand the challenges faced by people who are differently abled, both as patrons and as information professionals. Readers will learn to assess their library's physical facilities, programming, staff, and continuing education to ensure that their libraries are prepared to include people of all abilities. Inclusive programming and collection development suggestions will help librarians to meet the needs of patrons and colleagues with mobility and dexterity problems, learning differences, hearing and vision limitations, sensory and cognitive challenges, autism, and more. Additional information is included about assistive and adaptive technologies and web accessibility. Librarians will value this accessible and important book as they strive for equity and inclusivity"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Libraries and people with disabilities. 650 0 $a Library employees with disabilities. 650 0 $a Universal design. 650 7 $a LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Library & Information Science / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Library & Information Science / Administration & Management. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Libraries and people with disabilities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997547 650 7 $a Library employees with disabilities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997748 650 7 $a Universal design. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01161561 700 1 $a Copeland, Clayton A., $e editor. 700 1 $a Woolls, Blanche, $e writer of foreword. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Disabilities and the library $d Santa Barbara, California : Libraries Unlimited, [2023] $z 9781440859083 $w (DLC) 2022028475 941 $a 1 952 $l IAOX771 $d 20230202012213.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=663E2E1AA2C711ED850ED7DB26ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
