Abstract

This chapter explores assistive technology and its implications for people with disabilities. Using the Australian experience as a foundation, the authors discuss assistive technology and disability; how assistive technology facilitates ICT use; how libraries can promote assistive technology; and how libraries can select assistive technology that will be used by their patrons.
