DEI & Accessibility at Fondren, Rice University: Home
Welcome
This guide is designed to increase awareness of and access to the tools and resources at Rice University dedicated to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
It is sponsored by Fondren's Accessibility & Inclusion Committee.
Our committee has profited from the work of ALA's ASCLA (Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies). While developing our hints, ASCLA published tips for dealing with accessibility in many areas. Instead of duplicating their work, we have linked to ASCLA's well-crafted hints for each of our topic pages. We have also benefited from a site visit and presentation to Fondren Library and Rice University staff by the United Spinal Association and have included tips from their guide which is freely available on the Web.
See the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) homepage for disability rules and regulations.
