Better Serving the ELAC Population in Libraries Across our State

Michelle Blank, LaGrange Co. Public Library

michelle.blank@lagrange.lib.in.us

A Library for Every UserSlide4

This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute

of Museum and Library Services, administered by the Indiana State Library.Slide5

A Library for Every User

Ranganathan’s Five Laws of

Library Science

Books are for use.

Every reader his [or her] book.

Every book its reader.

Save the time of the reader.

The library is a growing organism.Slide6

Objectives

Heighten awareness concerning the existence and scope of the extra-legally, ably-challenged (ELAC) population.

Foster greater empathy for the extra-legally, ably-challenged (ELAC) population through the use of the experiential empathy lab and other activities.

Introduce the principles of universal access and universal design, and inform of resources for further research into these principles. Slide7

Accessible Libraries for All

http://www.projectalfa.slis.ua.edu

F

ounded on a philosophy of universal access

M

ove from a legal definition of disability to a more inclusive definition that embraces persons with mild to moderate impairments

C

ouched in international definitions of disability that are informed by social and cultural conditions rather than limited by medical qualification Slide8

So…What Is ELAC?

…and are you one?

Activity:

By show of hands, are you ELAC?Slide9

ELAC

Project ALFA personnel refer to persons with mild to moderate impairments as the extra-legally ably-challenged (ELAC) population

Hidden Disability: CataractsSlide18

Hidden Disability- Cataracts

22 Million Americans over the age of 40 have cataracts

O

ver 50% of all persons over age 80 suffer with cataracts

1200-1600 children will be born each year with congenital cataracts

ELAC Among Our Aging Population

umbersSlide25

Statistics on our Aging Population

The population aged 65 and older increased from 35 million in 2000 to 40 million in 2010 (a 15% increase). It is expected to grow to 55 million in 2020 (a 35% increase for that decade).

Over one in every eight, or 13.1% of the population, is an older American.

In 2010, 37% of older persons reported some type of disability, such as difficulty hearing, decreased vision, mobility, or self-care

Disabilities Associated with Aging-

Vision Loss

17% of people over age 45 have visual impairment- that’s 1 in 6 people!

121 million people over 45 in the US

Do the math…more than 20 million people over age 45 have visual impairment

94% of adults with self-reported vision loss did not receive any form of vision rehabilitationSlide27

I Need Another Tribute…

Disabilities Associated with Aging- GlaucomaSlide29

Disabilities Associated with Aging- Glaucoma

2.3 Million Americans over the age of 40 have glaucoma

Leading cause of blindness

No cure!

Disabilities Associated with Aging-

Hearing Loss

Hearing loss is one of the most common conditions affecting older adults.

Approximately 17 percent, or 36 million, of American adults say that they have some degree of hearing loss.

Roughly one-third of Americans 65 to 74 years of age and 47 percent of those 75 and older have hearing loss.

Activity: Everyone gently place one-half of your cotton ball in each ear, find a partner, and conduct a mock reference interview with one person playing the patron and the other playing the librarian.Slide32

“…vision loss is often

feared more than other age-related physical impairments because it tends to be associated with a state of complete dependency and

helplessness”

Disabilities Associated with Aging- AttitudesSlide33

Disabilities Associated with Aging-

Attitudes

Activity: Brainstorm with some colleagues what types of attitudes may be specific to the aged among the ELAC population.

Important Tip: Family members are also affected when someone close to them becomes impaired.Slide34

The Need:

Universal access expands the traditional definition of disability as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which limits focus to persons with severe impairments, to incorporate disruptive conditions that impact information

access.

Universal AccessSlide35

Universal Design

We’ve seen the need, so where do we turn for help?Slide36

Universal Design- What is it?

Universal design (UD) means that rather than designing your facility and services for the average user, you design them for people with a broad range of abilities, disabilities, and other characteristics—such as age, reading ability, learning style, language, culture, and others. Keep in mind

that…visitors may

have learning disabilities or visual, speech, hearing, and mobility impairments. Making your library accessible to them will make it more usable by everyone and minimize the need for special accommodations for those who use your

services.
