ABSTRACT

Questionnaires were sent to heads of public services of 167 academic libraries in the Southeast. Usable returns were obtained from 109 respondents. The questionnaire included ten tasks that might be appropriate for a part-time coordinator of library service to disabled students and faculty. Respondents were asked to indicate whether or not these tasks should be done and are done by either the library or another unit within the institution. The librarians’ attitude toward disabled persons appears to be the critical factor in providing service to this group.
