Accessibility of the University Libraries’ Services and Events 

University Libraries’ Events 

The University Libraries strives to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. If you anticipate any barriers to your participation in an event and would like to request accommodations, please contact the accessibility coordinator listed for each event. If you cannot identify the event’s accessibility coordinator, contact the Libraries Marketing Team at lib_marketing@memphis.edu. 

Instructional Services 

The University Libraries provide in-person and virtual instruction support. We strive to provide inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. If you have any questions about accommodations for library instruction, please contact lib_inssvcs@memphis.edu.  

When requesting library instruction, faculty should consider the following:  

• If you have students that will need accommodations, include what services we will need to provide in the “Anything Else?” section of the request forms. Please do not share any confidential information.  
• You can request recording for in-person instruction and live virtual instruction. 
• McWherter Library instruction room 226 is designated as an accessible room. There maybe be issues with wheelchair access in room 225.
