ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY WORKSTATION
at
The Community Library

Funded by a grant from the Dr. Ezekiel and Edna Wattis Dumke Foundation

Located in the Library's Reference Room, the Assistive Technology Workstation makes access to the Library's resources available to low-vision, blind, and physically impaired patrons as well as patrons with learning disabilities.

Features include:

• Dell Pentium computer with 21-inch flat screen monitor
• Adjustable, portable keyboard stand
• Optelec 19-inch video magnifier to enlarge print material
• Pronto scanner reader which will read printed text to patrons via headphones
• JAWS screen reader to enable blind patrons to hear Windows programs
• ZoomText Level 2 screen magnifer and screen reader for low vision patrons
• Enlarged print keyboard with Braille labels
• BigKeys keyboard with one-inch keys and a sticky-key feature
• Electrically controlled adjustable computer desk
• Crank adjustable work table
• Personal Mouse Trak trackball
• Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser
• Microsoft Word 2000 and Microsoft Excel 2000

We believe the Assistive Technology Workstation to be the first of its kind in a public library in the State of Idaho.

Now, patrons who are blind, have low vision, or have physical impairments can access all the print materials the Library has to offer as well as the Internet, word processing, and spreadsheets.

You do not need a library card to use the Assistive Technology Workstation, but anyone can get a library card. Library cards are available to all; just ask at the main circulation desk.
