Crash Course in Library Services to People with Disabilities (Paperback)

This book helps libraries identify and implement new ways to serve their physically or mentally disabled patients.

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
