THE AD-A-P-T-A-B-L-E APPROACH: PLANNING ACCESSIBLE LIBRARIES

Copyright by Alan Cantor 1995. This article is intended as an antidote to technological paralysis. It is practical guide for librarians who are overwhelmed by AT. The author describes an approach for choosing accessibility aids that puts high-technology devices into a broader context. I call the approach AD-A-P-T-A-B-L-E, an acronym formed of the first letter of eight distinct workplace accommodation strategies.
