Adaptive Equipment (for users with disabilities)

I am a BSU student with a disability. Who can I contact for help?

For someone to assist you in use of the Library, contact BSU Student  Services at 426-1583.

The Albertsons Library Circulation Desk has keys to the specially equipped rooms for the visually impaired that include JAWS for Windows software (a screen reader application) and Open Book Ruby Edition software (a screen or scanned text reader application).  Also, the Circulation Department can provide brief assistance in locating materials on the shelves (also known as "the stacks"). 

The Albertsons Library Curriculum Resource Center (CRC) has four special CD players on reserve that students can use to access books recorded in Daisy format from Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic.  They do not leave the building, and check out for 3 hours of in-house use.

Reference Assistance includes face-to-face, telephone (426-3301),  email and live chat service.  Several public computers located on the first floor are wheelchair accessible; some have large-sized screens, and touch pads or track balls.  

If you have other questions about the Library’s accommodations for patrons with disabilities, call Marilyn Moody, Dean of University Libraries, at 426-1234, or email her at MarilynMoody@boisestate.edu
