Research Libraries Library Services Disabilities Library Development Printed Materials Access to Information Research Reports Library Research Disadvantaged Public Policy Copyrights Higher Education Accessibility (for Disabled) Usability Change Strategies Barriers Electronic Libraries Foreign Countries Federal Legislation Civil Rights Legislation "Research Library Issues" ("RLI") focuses on current and emerging topics that are strategically important to research libraries. The articles explore issues, share information, pose critical questions, and provide examples. This special issue presents a report released by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Joint Task Force on Services to Patrons with Print Disabilities to bring much-needed attention to the challenges of print-disabled individuals who are seeking access to both print and digital library products and services. Print disabilities prevent some users from effectively reading information resources because of visual, physical, perceptual, developmental, cognitive, or learning disabilities. The report contains nine recommendations for research libraries to make information accessible to their full range of diverse users equitably. In particular, the report focuses on critical partnerships necessary to fully exploit the opportunities of digital information resources to open an unprecedented quantity of information to print-disabled patrons. The report also includes practical recommendations for individual institutions to improve responsiveness and organizational capacity to address the needs of this community more effectively. ARL believes that research libraries are poised to provide critical direction--along with academic leadership, IT, and disability services--on the service and technology planning, procurement, and licensing necessary to create a fully accessible information environment. A list of endnotes is included. |
