This article focuses on three areas where academic librarians can concentrate efforts to better meet the needs of students with disabilities: bibliographic instruction, web page design, and staff training. Carter stresses that the number of students with disabilities attending colleges or universities continues to increase and therefore accessibility issues should be at the forefront of library services. Suggestions focus on providing enhanced service to students with disabilities, increasing sensitivity and understanding of different learning styles, improving quality of library service to better enable students to conduct research independently, and ultimately providing easier access to information.","PeriodicalId":379176,"journal":{"name":"The Academic Quality Handbook","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115165379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In line with federal guidance and for the purposes of this policy, the division defines distance education as a formal learning activity in which the students and instructors are separated by geography, time, or both. The distance education models recognized by the Division of Adult Education are defined in the Guidance section of this policy. The use of computer-based curricula or other computer-based learning activities that take place during in-person classroom instruction is not distance learning. Homework assignments are not distance learning activities, either.","PeriodicalId":379176,"journal":{"name":"The Academic Quality Handbook","volume":"213 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123359592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
