Accessibility Services

The Olin Library is committed to providing safe and convenient access to facilities and services for all students, faculty, and staff, and abides by the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The library works closely with the Office of Accessibility Services to ensure that the needs of all students are met. Library faculty and staff make reasonable accommodations for college-affiliated persons with disabilities to assure they have equal access to library services and resources that can assist them in their learning.

Non-college affiliated users are provided reasonable accommodations within existing service parameters as stated in the library's policies. Patrons with disabilities are asked to notify library staff of their special needs.

Available Hardware

The library has isolation headphones available for checkout.
