Speakers: SCSL-TBS Assistive Technology Petting Zoo Team
As a network library of the National Library Service for The Blind & Print Disabled, the South Carolina State Library – Talking Book Services division (SCSL-TBS) also sponsors an Assistive Technology Petting Zoo (ATPZ) of equipment and supplies uniquely suited to helping libraries statewide make their existing collections more accessible. However, the most unique feature of the program in general is the proprietary device known as the Talking Book Machine. Join ATPZ staffers Allie Lovette and Amber Sanders as they demonstrate how to properly use the machine, how qualified residents of our state can become patrons and receive library services free of charge, and how library staff and patrons alike can utilize items available from the SCATP to make their library experience more enjoyable.
Speakers: Allie Lovette and Amber Sanders work as a Reader Advisor and Reader Advisory Assistant (respectively) for the SCSL-TBS. As a team, they conduct activities and trainings related to the SCSL-TBS Assistive Technology Petting Zoo. The goal of this initiative is to show library staff, patrons and other stakeholders statewide how to make their holdings accessible with as little manipulation as possible, maintaining the integrity of the items for future generations to utilize in their original formats.
