| Goal | How will the initiative support this institutional goal? |
|---|---|
|
In a broad sense, offering library centered accessibility electronic options will support student learning. |
|
The majority of our students are locating research materials via electronic means. While our electronic resources are ADA compliant, more can be done to improve visual and auditory accessibility. This initiative will directly support students by improving services to those in need of accessibility options. |
