Are the library resources accessible for people with disabilities? How can I get help if a material is not accessible?
Answer
The MLK Library at LACC is committed to provide all members of the LACC community with equitable access to library information and services. The LACC Library provides online access to databases, eBooks, full-text articles, streaming videos, research skills workshops, and 24/7 reference chat for research support.
If you cannot fully access the materials on any page on our site or in our databases, please contact the library by email at mlklibrary@lacitycollege.edu, by phone at 323-953-4000 extension 2406, or in-person during library hours. Please include the nature of the accessibility issue (including the name of the database), the location of the material with which you are having difficulty, and your contact information. There may be an alternative accessible format of the information available, an alternative solution identified, or improvements that can be made to make the information accessible.
Additional individualized accommodations may be available through the Office of Special Services (OSS). Students do not need to be signed up with OSS to select alternative assignments that do not use the product with identified accessibility barriers when an alternative solution for a product requires that alternative assignments be made available for all students.
Please see the Equally Effective Alternate Access Plan (EEAAP) guide for specific alternative solutions for each of our electronic library databases.
