Gateway web site launched
Does the staff in your libraries need help in finding information about books available in audio or large print and other accessible formats ? Are they confused about who supplies what and how? Do they run a reading group with visually impaired people but need some advice?
Then they need to know about Gateway.
Gateway wants to work with library staff to give visually impaired people in the UK better access to all library and information services whoever provides them.
Gateway has now launched a brand new website at www.gateway-uk.org
The web site will help library staff answer
questions on a range of enquiries and encourage libraries to share how they have improved services to meet visually impaired users' requirements.
This will become the essential tool at every service point in authorities serious about improving services for visually impaired people.
The web site supports the Gateway helpdesk. A single contact point for library staff and visually impaired people for enquiries about the whole
range of library services, reading materials and
useful technology.
