Libraries: making them accessible to disabled people

Date: Wednesday 26 April

Time: 3pm – 5pm

Disabled people face a range of barriers to their effective use of libraries, yet they are an important resource in enabling students to participate in study. This course will explore ways of accommodating disabled library users and help you to develop a plan for enhancing the service you offer. Libraries too have responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010 and this course will help you to achieve this.

This course will be led primarily by Kirsty Wayland and Aless McCann from the University Disability Resource Centre.  In addition, Jayne Kelly from the University ebooks team will provide practical advice for library staff wanting to provide eresources for students with disabilities.

Course leaders: Kirsty Wayland, Aless McCann & Jayne Kelly
