Print Disabilities: Devices and Services Available in Two-Year University System of Georgia Libraries
Hepler, Sarah; Green, Ravonne
Journal of Access Services, v4 n3-4 p39-55 2006
Many patrons of libraries have one or more print disabilities that partially or totally impair their ability to use standard print. However, many devices and services are available to aid patrons who can not use print in the conventional manner. This paper provides an overview of typical assistive technology devices and services available to students with print disabilities. Barriers to access and solutions to these barriers are also discussed. In addition, original research results are presented from a survey of two-year college libraries of the University System of Georgia. (Contains 2 tables.)
