The Subject Guides are a useful tool in getting started with your research. Whether you\u2019re an Engineer or a Classicist, they contain a wealth of information for navigating library resources, including journals, databases, and bibliographies, available to students here at the University of Edinburgh. Part of my role as Digital Engagement Intern involves reviewing and creating guides within the remit of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, and I\u2019m delighted to share our newest Subject Guide in <\/span>Disability Studies<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Preview<\/p>\n

This guide has been created to both assist students in the academic study of Disability and highlight ways the University can support you with any additional learning needs you might have. We\u2019ve included access information for students using the Main Library, advice on how to make your device more accessible, and details of several groups and societies for students to get involved with. As well as supporting students, we\u2019ve also included various materials to assist staff in creating more accessible learning environments, signposting additional training and resources available at the University.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We hope that this guide will serve as a helpful tool for students and staff to access the support that\u2019s available by bringing these resources together in one guide that will continue to grow over time. If you have any feedback or suggestions on ways this guide can be improved, then we would love to hear from you!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
