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.

	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
