The Usable and Accessible Library Space

As librarians, one of our main goals is to connect people with the information that they need. While librarians play a very large part in this process, we must not forget the role our library spaces play in this process. Our libraries should be attractive, yes, but above all, they should be usable and accessible to all patrons.

In this course, we will identify key barriers to a library's usability through a customer service and accessibility lens. We will discuss possible solutions for improving your library's layout, signage, and services, thus optimizing its usability. Finally, we will outline how to conduct a usability and accessibility audit for your library space.
