We recognize that creating and maintaining that space means we must remain vigilant—engaged in constant education, advocacy, and flexibility. To that end, we strive to:

  • think strategically about our use of resources to enhance accessibility wherever possible
  • advise faculty on accessible practices, especially regarding the use of our content
  • partner with the Office of Disability Resources for ongoing course needs
  • train staff and faculty on the use of our collections with an eye toward accessibility and potential barriers
  • continue to explore accessibility best practices, including  Scanning Best Practices as well as procurement of materials
