Purpose
The Accessibility Steering Committee’s primary focus is to develop the expertise and processes within the Libraries to ensure that we are meeting legal and community standards for accessibility in our facilities and services as well as establishing a commitment to the principles of accessibility. Where policies or standards are lacking in areas specific to library resources and services, or where we wish to set a higher standard, the Committee will develop, implement, and communicate them.
