This Accessibility Plan serves as a guide for the J. Murrey Atkins Library's accessibility initiatives from 2022 to 2025, aiming to provide inclusive access to services, programming, spaces, and resources for all people. The plan focuses on several key areas: staff training and education, creating an internal information hub for accessibility content, offering programming for library employees, conducting assessments through student and staff surveys, enhancing website accessibility, developing accessible instruction and technology, and auditing the NinerCommons research hub. The overarching vision is to foster an accessible and inclusive environment that aligns with the university's commitment to individuals with disabilities.
