"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
