The main entrance to the Al Harris Library can be reached by ramps. The doors on the right side of the entrance have an electric opener. The second floor and basement can be reached using the elevator adjacent to the stairwell on the south side of the building.

There are two wheelchair-accessible family restrooms on the south end of the first floor.

The library has one adjustable-height workstation in the PC area.

Personal Computers and Online Resources

All of the networked PCs on the first floor of the library support Windows Accesibility Tools, which include a screen magnifier, a screen reader, and an on-screen keyboard utility.

The library provides wireless Internet access throughout the building.

The library's catalog and discovery search is accessible online at https://swosu.on.worldcat.org. Any modern web browser is compatible.

Most of the library's online resources work with screen magnification and screen reading tools. These resources are available off-campus to current SWOSU students and employees. See Remote Access and Library Logins for details.

Public Services Assistance

If you are unable to retrieve library materials or use library equipment (such as photocopiers, microfiche scanners, etc.) due to a disability or facility barriers (such as a non-functional elevator, doors, etc.), the Public Services staff at the Circulation Desk will provide you with assistance. The Public Services staff will retrieve library materials, pull individual periodical issues, photocopy specific articles, and provide other assistance as necessary. Please allow 24-hours for the Public Services staff to process your request to photocopy or retrieve your materials.

Distance Education students with a disability can use the library's Copy Service form to submit photocopying requests.
