Library instruction and training sessions rely heavily on visuals or sound. Instruction sessions can be tape recorded so the volume can be increased for later reference. Handouts can be enlarged, or electronic copies can be provided. Please contact Mary Jo Lyons at (817) 272-7520 to request arrangements.

The Library provides assistance in searching the online catalog and other databases. This service is provided only during Reference Desk hours. In order to provide more expedient service, patrons who require more than 15 minutes of assistance are asked to make an appointment. Please contact the Reference desk, or call (817) 272-3394.

Students who believe they have been treated in a discriminatory manner because of a disability may informally discuss the allegations or formally file a written complaint of discrimination with the Office of Equal Opportunity & Affirmative Action.
