I am trying to get a sampling of current trends among libraries for the
provision of accessible texts to library users who have print disabilities.
I am particularly interested in getting feedback from academic libraries, but
information from any library would be useful.

Here are my questions:
1. Do you provide special services on demand at all times your library is open,
or only during certain posted times?

2. Do you have OCR electronic reading packages such as Reading Edge or
Telesensory Domino portable readers for patron use?

3. Do you provide a braille embosser for patron use on demand?

4. Do your staff ever assist patrons in finding accessible texts through the
use of the NLS, APH, or RFBD online catalogs on the Web?

5. Are your OPAC terminals equipped with text enlargement or screen readers?

6. Do any of you use microfilm OCR technology such as recently released by
Xerox?

Feel free to answer any or all of these questions.  The feedback will help me
get a good sampling of access provisions currently in use.  And of course,
the more replies I get the better the sampling, non-scientific though it may
be.

Thanks for your help,
