Accessibility and inclusivity: Cambridge libraries toolkit

Training opportunities from the Accessibility and Disability Resource Centre

Free disability equality training opportunities are available to all members of the University and its colleges. These range from a programme of courses that all Cambridge library staff can attend, to bespoke sessions on the use of specific software, such as Dragon Naturally Speaking, Inspiration, JAWS, SuperNova, TextHelp, Read&Write and ZoomText.

Click here to access the training programmes and contact details for the bespoke sessions through the Accessibility and Disability Resource Centre webpages. 

Training opportunities from the Libraries Accessibility Service

Every term the Libraries Accessibility Service runs tours of the UL's bookable spaces. We start outside the entrance to the UL and consider barriers to entry, and how we currently mitigate these. We then visit the Assistive Technology Room (with a demonstration of some assistive software), the Group Study Room and the private study rooms. The groups are small and there is plenty of opportunity to ask questions and share experiences. The tours are advertised through Librarians in Training and via all-staff email.

Training and resources by area of work

The Libraries Accessibility Service has compiled a list of training resources by job area (Raven login), as part of our induction offer.
