Eileen,

Every type of library needs to be accessible.  This means not only
physically, but also intellectually.  Can students and staff with
various kinds of disabilities get information out of your electronic
catalog or other electronic sources?  If you have a Web site, is it
accessible?  Or, as a friend of mine says, could Helen Keller, Stephen
Hawking and Tom Cruise (who has dyslexia, a hidden disability) use
your library effectively?

I'm not sure this answers your question about wondering what was
pertinent to high school libraries.  Please elaborate, if needed.

Thanks for wondering!
Audrey
