I have just taken on the role of Librarian with special responsibilities
for disabled readers and have been asked as a matter of some urgency to
look into ways of alerting deaf users when there is a fire alarm. One of
our students is using a study room so would be totally unaware if the
alarm sounded as she would not even see people leaving the floor in
droves. I have been told about Deaf Alerter which seems like a good idea
(and for which I might be able to get some money) but would be grateful
for any other suggestions and/or feedback about the effectiveness of the
Deaf Alerter system. The Library is on 4 floors and always very busy so
it would be quite impractical for someone to go round all the study rooms.
Thanks for any help you can give
