CLAUD is a consortium of librarians in Higher Education networking to improve library access 
for disabled users in the South and Southwest of England. Further details of CLAUD can be

This conference is aimed at anyone involved in providing library services to disabled users.
The day's programme will cover the marketing of services in the widest sense, focusing on 
promotion and training.  The Programme will be varied and will include workshop sessions 
relating to a variety of disability issues. The main speakers are Prof. Andrew McDonald and

learning difficulty. Jenny Craven is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Research in Library 
and Information Management at the Manchester Metropolitan University. Jenny has worked on a 
number of research projects, including the British Library and JISC funded REVIEL (Resources 
for Visually Impaired users of the Electronic Library) project, published in 1999.
