Subaward Project
Technology and Collections to Expand Health Information Access
Purchase audiobooks and circulating CD players for older adults and patrons with visual impairments. This will provide additional access to health-related content for those patrons with visual disabilities. The flatscreen will help promote health information resources available at the library including electronic resources which tend to be not well known to the public and as a result, underutilized. The flat screen will also assist in promoting these new acquisitions for the CD and monograph-based content.
