Another books is Deines-Jones, Courtney & Van Fleet, Connie. (1995). Preparing staff to serve patrons with disabilities. Neal-Schuman. Although 10 years old, much of the material covered is still very relevant. (http://www.neal-schuman.com/db/9/159.html)
Although I don't mean to toot my own horn, I also teach a web-based course in the Indiana University School of Library and Information Science entitled Library Resources and Technologies for Patrons with Disabilities. It will be offered during the spring semester and can be taken from anywhere in the world. The 2006 syllabus isn't ready yet, but the one from 2005 can be viewed at http://www.slis.iupui.edu/courses/syllabi/L620_s05_irwin.pdf if you want to get an idea.

Subject: ADA Training Materials Specifically for Library Staff?
Hi Folks,
I've been poking around looking for disability-related training materials
for an upcoming training for our library staff. I've found some books on the
subject, but nothing that really gives an overview of providing quality
public service to library patrons with disabilities. At this point I'd
settle for a pamphlet or guidelines to show folks. Does such a thing exist
before I go ahead and try to create one myself? I've scoured ALA's website,
but found nothing really. I also contacted ALA's Diversity department but
never heard back. Any tips on resources you all can provide would be great.
Tracy
