Page 4 Welcome to The Libraries Services for Patrons with Disabilities The Libraries are committed to providing full access to collections and services. If you need special assistance or encounter any diffi culty using the Libraries, we encourage you to consult with staff at any service desk. A TDD phone (962-5108) for the hearing impaired links to the Davis Library Circulation Department. Two wheelchair-accessible workstations are located in the Davis Library Information Commons. Two study rooms equipped to assist patrons with disabilities and learning dis abilities are on the third floor of Davis Library. The rooms feature computers, Internet connections, and software, including: Dragon Dictate, a powerful speech recognition program pro viding hands-free text input and control of PC applications by discrete dictation rather than typing. Trained users can create documents using a word proces sor, compose and send email, and interact with spreadsheets and databases-all by voice. Dragon Naturally Speaking software recognizes and creates general text from normal contin uous speech. Trained users can dictate entire paragraphs at a time, compose email messages, and create reports just by talking at a conversational pace. Kurzweil Omni 3000 soft ware is a reading system that helps people with learning and reading disabilities improve reading speed and comprehen sion. The software provides audi tory and visual presentations for scanned texts and images. Closed circuit televisions magnify texts and images for eas ier viewing. All TV monitors in the Nonprint Section of the House Undergraduate Library, temporarily located on the 2nd level of Wilson Library Annex, are also capable of displaying closed-captions. Equipment and services are expand ed and improved periodically. For information, contact the Office of Disability Services in the basement of Steele Building during weekday business hours (962-8299).
