Library Champions for Disability Access
Is a new grassroots community of practice form for all information professionals which was
launched in November 2015 in affiliation with
ALISS
http://www.alissnet.org.uk
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. Find out more on the site
