Users with Disabilities Policy

Mercer University Libraries staff is committed to providing equal access to people with disabilities. Like all library users, people with disabilities can receive research assistance from University Libraries staff. Mercer students who need extensive help are encouraged to make appointments by contacting us. Library users who need physical assistance accessing library materials or services can ask for assistance from library staff at one of the service desks. Members of the Mercer community who require any other accommodations should contact the library and the office of Access and Accommodations to make arrangements. 

  • Patrons with disabilities can expect assistance on demand whenever practicable with services including retrieval of library materials, hold and ILL requests, access to microform and Course Reserve materials, and use of floor computers. 
  • Patrons can contact the Circulation Desk to make prior arrangements regarding reasonable accommodations. Services that may require prior arrangements include research consultations with research librarians, retrieval of multiple library items, or extensive copying of library materials.
