Our Commitment
平特五不中 Library and Student Accessibility & Achievement coordinate programs and services with the goal of providing a rewarding library experience to users with disabilities, mental health issues, chronic health conditions or other impairments (whether temporary, permanent, or episodic).
The Library supports equity, diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility work in programming, services, teaching and learning, staff culture, scholarship, and advocacy. We are committed to engaging with this ongoing work in a variety of聽ways with the aim of building deep and meaningful change. We currently have a number of EDI initiatives underway.
Student Accessibility & Achievement
The has a range of information and services for students with disabilities at 平特五不中, including requesting course-related such as electronic text, large print, or Braille. The Office also runs a peer mentoring program, where students can be matched up with mentors or study partners. Students needing particular accommodations are encouraged to register with Student Accessibility and Achievement.
平特五不中 Library Accessibility Working Group
The 平特五不中 Library Accessibility Working Group (MLAWG) was formed in September 2019.
The group鈥檚 mandate is to: continuously review the Library鈥檚 policies, services and resources to determine whether all users have equitable access to the 平特五不中 Library system and to ensure that the Library is in compliance with applicable legislation.
Some of our current projects include:
- improving the descriptions of the bookable
- from the community
- determining how accessibility can be incorporated into building/renovation projects
