Building Another Bridge: Equal Access to Technology for Special Populations

Daneen Richardson, Reference Librarian at the Graham Hospital School of Nursing in Canton, Illinois

This workshop will offer a practical, humanistic approach to providing access for special populations. Effective use of technology has become a critical component of information retrieval. Does this leave the blind, the deaf, the elderly and any other group with special challenges on the far side of a new digital divide? 

This session will provide specific information on how to bridge that divide for individuals challenged in ways that we CAN accommodate if only we have the requisite insight, persistence, compassion, and knowledge. Building Another Bridge will offer very specific suggestions to insure that all individuals have equal access to information, regardless of the medium through which that information is presented.
