Now in an expanded and updated second edition, Joseph Lazzaro's Adaptive Technologies For Learning & Work Environments continues to be a superbly presented survey and explanation of the latest advancements in library staff and patron assistive hardware and software, along with essential information on how to implement them, and how to provide vital training and technical support for them. Detailed chapters identify options for library patrons with visual, hearing, motor, speech, and learning disabilities. This is now supplemented with new chapters devoted to keyboard commands, built-in accessibility utilities, and Internet/Intranet accessibility. Of special interest is the chapter devoted to PC hardware, software, and peripherals providing the library staff member with all the basics needed to work with many different forms of adaptive equipment. More than two hundred products are evaluated, ranging from screen readers to voice command, to word predictors. Adaptive Technologies For Learning & Work Environments is an indispensable, comprehensive, user friendly, and highly recommended reference.
