UA-PTC Libraries welcomes the opportunity of serving all members of the UA - Pulaski Tech community. UA-PTC Libraries provides the following services to patrons with disabilities:

Materials and Equipment

ADA Study Rooms and Computers - ADA study rooms offer:

• JAWS - A screen reader program. It reads the content on the computer screen to the user.
• Zoom Text - A screen enlarging program. It magnifies the materials on the screen making it easier to see.
• Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) - The CCTV utilizes a video camera to capture images and displays them on a television screen. The CCTV can zoom in on materials to make them easier to view. *The CCTV is only available at the Ottenheimer - North Library.

Services

Reference: Librarians are available to help with the research process. If more intensive help is needed, appointments may be scheduled by contacting the Library.

Drop-in Library Workshops (crash courses) on specific research topics are offered periodically throughout the semester. If assistance is necessary for a Library Workshop, please contact the Library 3-5 days in advance so accommodations can be planned for and provided.
