The author was a part of the program in 2022, and this paper will address the redesign of a legal research course based on the training from the program.

Providing equitable access for persons with disabilities to library facilities and services is required by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), applicable state and local statutes, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). The ADA was created to eliminate discrimination in many areas, and most libraries are covered by the ADA’s Title I (Employment), Title II (Government Programs and Services), and Title III (Public Accommodations). Section 504 is another federal law designed to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities in programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Education. Recipients of this federal financial assistance include institutions of higher education. This article provides a brief overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and why law libraries must comply with these laws to provide equitable access for persons with disabilities. Although the traditional view of access is defined as physical access to the library or the building it resides in, this article asserts that equitable and inclusive access to the law library should be aligned with the expectations of the ADA and Section 504. Law libraries should employ a more holistic approach and reexamine how they define and apply accessibility to their collections, programs, and services.Keywords: ADASection 504accessaccessibilitydisabilitylibrarylaw librarylibrary collectionslibrary programslibrary services AcknowledgmentsThe author would like to thank Maryanne Daly-Doran and Sarina Bhargava for their research assistance.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes2 There is debate in the disability community about identity-first language or person-first language in relation to disability.
