Want to start an outreach program for disabled patrons? What issues are there for library services and library spaces for disabled community members? LM is highlighting topical Library Science titles from our collection in occasional emails. Here are selected accessibility titles purchased recently. You can search MeLCat for LM titles and you can also check our New Library Science Collection titles at http://35.8.7.98/screens/lmftlist.html.

 

In terms of providing materials to disabled patrons, you can direct community members who meet the guidelines for the Braille and Talking Book service to the state Braille and Talking Book Library for free content - https://www.michigan.gov/leo/bureaus-agencies/bureau-of-services-for-blind-persons/btbl.


REMINDER: Titles are available through interlibrary loan only right now, as our MeLCat delivery is temporarily offline while we prepare to move to a new catalog. you can find the information on interlibrary loan borrowing from the Library of Michigan here - https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/about/libuseguidelines/guideforlibraries/interlibrary-loan-guidelines. The page reference state employees, but libraries may also borrow from the collection through interlibrary loan.
