The staff and faculty of the Rebecca Crown Library recognize that:
* Historical and current systems of oppression do not impact us equally. For example, those of us who are white benefit from institutional racism.
* Intersectionality complicates individual experiences of privilege and oppression.
* Privilege informs and limits the perspectives of those who benefit from it.
We embrace accountability and encourage any and all corrections, additions, critiques, and suggestions. Please don't hesitate to contact the librarians listed below.
Welcome to the Accessibility Tools LibGuide! This guide is a collection of free and easy to use tools that break down educational barriers in order to reach all students. As you can see to the left, this guide is organized by tool. Each tool addresses the different needs of students. You will also find tutorial videos provided with most tools!
Digital resources are used now more than ever, it is important to build a curriculum that will address all learners. Whether you are teaching remotely or in person, these tools will efficiently bring your students closer to the materials and promote an empowering learning experience for all students.
This webinar recorded by the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) was a central source in compiling the resources found here. These librarians explain the importance of accessibility tools and describe best practices on everything from closed captions to hashtags. It is a great resource if you are looking for further guidance in implementing these tools in your classroom.
