Wheelchair Access
The main entrance to the Al Harris Library can be reached by ramps. The entrance doors on the right have an electric opener. The second floor and basement can be reached using the elevator on the south side of the building (adjacent to the south stairwell). The restrooms on the south end of the first floor are wheelchair accessible.
The Library has one adjustable-height study table in the glass room adjacent to the Circulation Desk.
Personal Computers and Online Resources
All of the networked PCs on the first floor of the library support Windows XP Accesibility Tools, which include a screen magnifier, a screen reader, and an on-screen keyboard utility. The Standalone PC is a non-networked PC with ZoomText screen enlargement magnifier. The Standalone PC has a variety of CD-ROM databases.
The library has wireless Internet access throughout the building.
The online catalog is accessible through the Web at http://libcat.swosu.edu. Any forms-capable web browser will work with the SWOSU library catalog. You can renew books and check the status of your library account by clicking the "Your Account" button at the top of the catalog's web pages.
Most of the library's online resources work with screen magnification and screen reading tools. In addition, most of these resources are available off-campus to current SWOSU students and employees. See the Off-Campus Library Resources page for details.
Access Services Assistance
If you are unable to retrieve library materials or use library equipment (such as photocopiers, microfiche reader/printers, etc.) due to a disability, the Access Services staff at the Circulation Desk will provide you with assistance. The Access Services staff will retrieve library materials, pull individual periodical issues, photocopy specific articles, and provide other assistance as necessary. Please give the Access Services staff 24 hours to photocopy or retrieve your materials. You are responsible for photocopying charges; payment is due at the time you pick up the photocopies at the Circulation Desk.
Photocopying requests may be submitted through the library's Copy Service.
