Library champions for Disability Is a
new grassroots community of practice form for all information professionals which was
launched in November 2015 in
affiliation with ALISS
We aim to offer librarians,
information professionals from all sectors an informal place to contact, meet and exchange and exchange ideas. Disability is defined broadly to include neurodiversity conditions, mental health issues, physical or intellectual impairment.
We
believe that library users should not
be ‘disabled’ by technical, environmental or social conditions in libraries and urge all those who support this to join us to improve access for all.
Here are the minutes and slides from the meeting at Kings College . The slides cover services at Kings College and the contact person service at SOAS
We are actually really heartened at the level of support as I never expected it would get this much response and I am hoping it will continue and develop . Here are the slides and minutes so you have an idea
of what is going on. I am hoping to add slides from other speakers but will add these when I can
In addition we have our monthly bibliography of articles.
and are aiming to publish regular articles in ALISS quarterly on the topic
