"LIBRARIES HOPING TO MAKE THEIR SERVICES AND PROGRAMS FULLY ACCESSIBLE
WILL WANT TO CHECK OUT THIS USEFUL AND THOUGHTFUL GUIDE. HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED." _-LIBRARY JOURNAL_
Libraries have an ethical, and usually a legal, obligation to make
their services accessible to disabled patrons and employees. _Making
the Library Accessible for All_ is a single-source guide that
librarians can refer to when planning, remediating, or evaluating
accessibility. With a unique holistic approach, it emphasizes the
perception of people with disabilities as partners in meeting a common
goal rather than as a population to be “served.” Topics addressed
and updated in this second edition include:
Multiple interviews with librarians and other experts in the field
about proven accessibility strategies for libraries, personal
experiences, and cutting-edge innovations; Innovations in providing
assistive digital technology, many of which are free or built into
common programs;An overview of changes coming to accessibility
guidelines for digital content;Up-to-date information on legislation
that may affect some or all libraries;An evaluation of how the COVID
pandemic has changed both library services and patron needs
