To ensure that all ASU students, faculty, and staff have access to our library’s resources and facilities, we offer a variety of services and assistive technology for users with disabilities.
Services
- Orientation to ASU Library
- Instruction on accessing and searching One Search and the online databases
- Book retrieval and assistance with photocopying/printing
- Training on our assistive equipment and technology
- Making print materials available in electronic format.
While members of the community with disabilities are welcome to do library research with our staff’s assistance, ASU affiliates will be given precedence.
