Areas of Rescue Assistance and Emergency Telephones

Emergency exits on the first and ground floors are at ground level. You might wish to ask staff members at our main Circulation Desk or Reference Desk about emergency procedures.

IMPORTANT:
Any physically challenged individual studying in the Chemistry/Physics Library should alert library staff just in case there is an unexpected emergency requiring immediate evacuation of the building.

Accessible drinking fountains are available on the first, second and third floors of the Bailey/Howe Library and next to the main reading room in the Library Research Annex. Please ask for directions at the Dana Medical and Cook Chemistry/Physics Libraries.

On-Screen Keyboard for Windows 2000

On-Screen Keyboard is an accessibility utility that displays a virtual keyboard on the computer screen that allows people with mobility impairments to type data by using a pointing device or joystick. Besides providing a minimum level of functionality for some people with mobility impairments, On-Screen Keyboard can also help people who do not know how to type.
