Establishing an Accessible Environment for Library Users
- Establish expectations: what kind of services, features, or assistance are library users accustomed to? How can these needs be met--by the University Libraries or the University as a whole? It is okay to acknowledge that the help process may look different across cultures
- Repeating and clarifying questions or comments may feel uncomfortable or unnatural at first, but it encourages clear communication and emphasizes to users that their needs are important to Libraries faculty and staff
- Be aware of idioms or gestures which may not be observed by all users, or which may convey alternate meanings across languages and cultures.
