The person would contact Library Services for Students with Disabilities (LSSD) by e-mail, phone or in person, to book a
time to use a room. A person with a disability other than a student would also contact LSSD. Keys to the rooms are kept
at the main Library Services Desk. Students are provided with a key, but are asked to show identification. Staff at the
service desk have a list of students authorized to use these rooms.
They may also call the service desk to obtain access.

library students must be registered with SSD. The library will sign-out a key to registered students only from the Service
Desk.

Center (ATC) in the library. The ATC is open 24/5 once registered with Disability Services, a user is given a NetID login
that allows permission to log into the ATC computers.

Users with disabilities can gain access to the workspace by approaching the Circulation Desk. This maximizes the hours
that the workspace is available.
