You can chat and email with us daily! Mon-Thu 7am-7pm, Fri 7am-6pm, Sat 11am-6pm, and Sun 1pm-6pm. But due to COVID-19, all University Libraries buildings are currently closed, and we're not accepting any new hold/pickup or scanning requests for physical items.

We support the participation of people with disabilities in academic pursuits at the University of Arizona and in lifelong learning. We provide access to research materials and services through reasonable accommodations, such as readily accessible adaptive technology and software, special equipment, and personal assistance.
Our assistive technology room (Main Library, B326) has adaptive equipment and software, including Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional v13, JAWS v16, Kurzweil 1000 v14, and MAGic v13 and Read&Write v11. Visit any Main Library Ask Us desk to get the door code or remote control for entry.
Adaptive equipment and other computers with assistive technology software can also be found at the Main, Science-Engineering and Fine Arts Libraries.
