Open to all?
Why not share the good work you've done with other librarians? Designing Libraries has created a new gallery 'Librarian's Choice' aimed at showing off the work you have done on improving any aspect of your library building. The first gallery concentrated on good examples of signs and guiding in libraries; our new gallery is concentrating on how libraries have addressed accessibility issues for all their users, such as furniture heights and assistive technology, particularly in light of the recent Disability Discrimination Act. You can email your images directly to us, and they will be collated and added to the gallery, for others to admire - the first three libraries to send their images will receive a Designing Libraries handy paperclip dispenser! To view other libraries that have accessibility features, go to the Database search page (www.designinglibraries.org.uk/search), select any accessibility features in which you are particularly interested, and hit the 'search' button. Choosing 'assistive technology' for instance brings up a list of 51 libraries with this feature. If you wish to view only those records that have images, tick the 'only show results that feature images' box before searching. To view other galleries go to: www.designinglibraries.org.uk/gallery, where you will also find handy guidelines on how to take the best photographs of your library. Send us your images now, and the gallery will be made live at the end of February. If you also have images of signs and guiding you would like to submit, please do send them. And why not also send us your suggestions for other topics for Librarian's Choice galleries? NB:
