| Abstract: | Policy language plays a central role in ensuring that academic libraries are accessible and inclusive to patrons with disabilities. However, relevant accessibility information is often missing from publicly available library policies. This article uses findings from a content analysis of SUNY libraries' public collection development and accessibility policies to gain insight into current trends and develop best practices in the creation of accessibility policy language. |
