Educating Students to Serve Information Seekers with Disabilities

摘要

This report of a survey looks at how library and information science (LIS) programs provide education related to ADA, services for people with disabilities, and adaptive technologies. The survey revealed that 66% of responding schools assure that all graduates know about the law. Fewer assure that all graduates are exposed to information about services and adaptive technology. A literature review of the resources that have influenced LIS educators over the past 25 years is included.
