UC&R Wales Summer conference: Breaking down the barriers: exploring
practical solutions to support disabled customers in academic libraries
(plus AGM).
Tuesday 19 June 2001, UWIC (Cyncoed Campus), Cardiff
This year's UCR Wales summer conference follows the success of last year's
event, focussing again on practical ways to address issues of topical
interest to LIS professionals in Wales, and bringing you up to date with key
developments.
This year we look at services to disabled customers. The day will use a mix
of speakers and workshops to stimulate the exchange of good practice between
service providers, service users, academic staff and disability
coordinators. The day is aimed primarily at staff in academic libraries (HE
or FE) but all are welcome.
Participants will be able to:
* Update themselves on recent changes in legislation and new services
* Learn more about disabled customer needs
* Exchange ideas on good practice
