Delivering Library Services for Disabled People The overall aim of this website is to provide a one-stop information and learning resource for library staff relating to access and equal opportunities for disabled people. The learning modules are intended to help develop your knowledge and skills through work-based modules supported by some existing key web-based resources. These include: The case stories introduce you to some interesting people with or working with people who have a range of disabilities, and are a good starting point in using the website. This training package consists of 10 modules . It is designed to be a flexible self-study package, which can be used by individuals and groups from senior management to front-line staff. Before beginning the course, in consultation with either your line manager or a critical friend/mentor, you should complete the Learning Needs Analysis Form ; this will help to identify your learning needs and which modules will best meet your specific needs.
