Workstation for people with disabilities available in the Main Library
A workstation adapted to the needs of people with disabilities has been made available in the Scientific Information Reading Room of the MUG Main Library. From now on, users with disabilities can conveniently access scientific databases, e-journals, and other materials from the Library’s collections. The workstation was financed by the “MUG without barriers” project, co-funded by the European Social Fund Plus under the European Funds for Social Development 2021–2027 program.
The workstation is open to all users; however, priority is given to people with disabilities, particularly those with mobility or visual impairments, as well as individuals with other special needs that make it difficult to use standard computer workstations.
The workstation is equipped with assistive devices and software, including:
a touch-screen monitor,
scanner,
handheld and electronic magnifiers (available from the on-duty librarian),
headphones,
an ergonomic keyboard,
a specialized computer mouse,
a screen reader,
speech and magnification software,
a height-adjustable desk,
specialized orthopedic chair with non-slip foot caps, featuring a CE declaration of conformity.
If you experience any difficulties using the workstation or software, please ask the on-duty librarian in the Scientific Information Reading Room for assistance.
