This book helps libraries identify and implement new ways to serve
their physically or mentally disabled patients. Authors Ann Roberts
and Dr. Richard Smith work at the state level with persons with
disabilities. They find that very few librarians feel comfortable
with providing services addressed to the needs of the disabled, yet
those who do offer services and programs other libraries can adopt
and adapt. Crash Course in Library Services to People with
Disabilities will help librarians get up to speed in understanding
disabled persons and what they can do to make library premises and
holdings more accessible to them. It provides basic information on
the different types of mental and physical disabilities a librarian
might encounter, then offers a range of exemplary policies,
services, and programs for people with disabilities-efforts that
are in place and working across the country. Provides assessment
tools that help libraries gauge their ability to meet the needs of
disabled patrons Includes a comprehensive index
