Universal Access: Accessibility in the Library World

Introduction

This exhibit, curated by the Michigan State University Libraries’ Accessibility and User Experience units, showcases the MSU Libraries’ commitment to accessibility, demonstrated through its collections and archives, assistive technologies and equipment, and spaces. This exhibit also provides interactive sensory experiences via the sound dome and tactile table.

The MSU Libraries are committed to providing equal access to all library collections, services, and digital and physical spaces. We lead and collaborate on accessibility initiatives within the Libraries and the broader MSU campus, regularly undertaking projects and activities to advocate for and ensure an accessible experience for all library users.

We installed this exhibit with accessibility in mind — please contact us if you need additional accommodations: lib.dl.accessibility@msu.edu

There are also QR codes by the various cases that link to audio (MP3) files.
