The Dartmouth College Library is committed to providing adaptive technology to library patrons with disabilities. The Library features webpages that meet the accessibility guidelines of US Section 508 (36 CFR Part 1194) and the most stringent (level-AAA) guidelines of the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative.  Meeting these guidelines makes accessing our webpages easier for patrons with disabilities such as mobility impairments or low vision, and we believe that the sound design principles these guidelines espouse make our webpages more usable for everyone. If you'd like more information on accessibility at Dartmouth, see the Academic Skills Center and Access Dartmouth.
