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. Minutes and slides from the meetings are now available on a new blog at http://librarychampionsfordisabilityaccess.blogspot.co.uk/ if you need any further help do let me know best wishes Heather Dawson [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the LIS-LINK list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=LIS-LINK&A=1
