All libraries have patrons and staff members with disabilities,
making equitable service a priority for these organizations as they
provide diverse services to their entire communities. Although
rapid technological changes in recent years have offered challenges
to libraries, these same technologies provide opportunities to
embrace the concept of accessible library services and create
innovative new services for patrons with disabilities.
Accessibility for Persons with Disabilities and the Inclusive
Future of Libraries, edited by Brian Wentz, Paul T. Jaeger, and
John Carlo Bertot, focuses on the issues at the intersection of
disability, accessibility, inclusion and libraries. The chapters in
this volume provide best practices and innovative ideas to share
amongst libraries, explore the roles that internet and
communication technologies play in the context of inclusive
libraries, illuminate the important contributions of libraries in
promoting social inclusion of and social justice for people with
disabilities, and help libraries to better articulate their
contributions in these areas as they engage with disability groups,
funders, policymakers, and other parts of their communities.
