A little information about adaptive technology at Cal State San Marcos, in cases you ever need it. It is good to know that the Kellogg library provides a variety of technology support for disabled students. On the 3rd floor their is one walk up catalog computer with wheelchair access and a 34" counter. On the same floor there are 3 roll up research carrels with 30" counters. All non computer tables and service areas have 34" counter access. On the 3rd and 4th floors are OCTV viewers to enlarge print, research computers all contain Magnifier, On-Screen Keyboard, and Narrator software for enlarging print, providing onscreen navigation of the computer, and read-a-loud software to assist disabled persons. The library contains a separate adaptive technology lab which contain all of the above mentioned features. Braille keyboards and printers are also available in the adaptive technology lab.
These technologies are designed to make the library at Cal State San Marcos both accessible and usable by those with special needs. Breaking down these barriers makes it possible for each and every person who attends classes at Cal State to use the library and be successful in their studies. It is always good to know that these products and services are out there, you just never know who will need them.
