The Library provides proxy services to our disabled users:
Proxy services refer to services offered by the Library to users who cannot use a Library service or function due to a disability. The Librarian will then bring the benefits to the disabled user. These include the following:
- Information searches
- Book request
- Information literacy training
- EndNote training
- General assistance in the Library
- Library Orientation
The Libraries have dedicated Librarians who work closely with the Disability Unit. Users who require any library service can contact the following staff members:
