INFORMATION STOP C-2

  

At one end of the Information Commons is an Aladdin print magnifier and an adaptive-use computer -- specialized equipment to support students with visual and/or motor disabilities.

The Aladdin magnifier has an adjustable focus, and can show printed materials as white-print-on-black (as shown) or black-print-on-white.

The adapted-use computer is on an adjustable table. It has  ZoomText enlarger/screen reader software and a large trackball "mouse." This workstation provides the same access to the OPAC, the databases, and to the Internet .

See the Disabled Student Services webpage for information about equipment that is available in the High-Tech Lab.
