The UAA Consortium library strives to provide equitable access and services to all UAA and APU students, including those who may be experiencing a disability.

Currently, there is one adjustable computer workstation equipped with assistive technology and specialized software available for students to use. Priority is given to students using this computer for academic purposes, and it is first come, first serve. Some of the accessible features include:

• Screen reader narration
• Display and vision settings
• Color control settings
• Color filters to accommodate color blindness
• Voice access for hands-free control and typing
• Live captions
