New Services for Persons with Disabilities

The Library would like to introduce a new librarian to the Ryerson
community. Kelly Dermody has been hired to fill an 8-month contract
librarian position as Coordinator of Library Services for Persons with
Disabilities. Funding for this position has been provided by Student
Services and the University Library. She has been hired to coordinate
the acquisition of materials in alternative formats for students
registered with the Access Centre, provide library instruction, and to
write a report on “best practice” in other universities, so that we
can establish an appropriate level of staffing for this service on an
on-going basis. Kelly can be reached at 979-5000, x4120, or at
kdermody@ryerson.ca. Her office is located in LIB395 on the 3rd floor of the Library next to the Adaptive Technology Rooms.
