Library staff will make every effort to accommodate reasonable requests from library users with disabilities. If your disability is not visible, please identify yourself as having a disability when you seek assistance. Fondren Library Center Reference librarians have advanced training in the use of library resources and basic training in the use of assistive technology. Reference librarians are not trained in services to persons with disabilities. Please be sure to contact SMU's Services for Students with Disabilities at 214-768-4563 for support. If your needs are not met by the services described below, please notify a staff member. We will examine, and if necessary, extend our policies and procedures to accommodate your needs. |
