> accessible are they to disabled people? What access barriers are there and
> how can they be removed? This event will look at how to develop services
> which are inclusive of disabled people and which meet the requirements of
> the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). The talk is aimed at all who
> work in libraries with an interest in and commitment to public access.
