Overview

To ensure that all Cayuga Community College faculty, staff, students and visitors have access to the libraries' collections, resources and facilities, a variety of services are provided to assist users with disabilities.  Anyone conducting research in the Learning Commons Libraries may request staff assistance.

Assistive Technology

Several types of assistive technology are available through the Office of Accessibility Resources. Click here to see a full list.

The Learning Commons Library also has height-adjustable tables for those in need. Please see a member of the staff if you need this adjusted or if you need the font on your computer to be enlarged.

Book Retrieval

We provide physical assistance with retrieving books from the shelves.  Most requests can be accommodated immediately. However, if requesting multiple items, please call the library in advance so that staff can have the items ready for pick-up at the library services desk.  For more information, call the Cayuga Community College Library Services Desk - Auburn: (315) 294-8596 or Fulton (315) 593-9319- or email us at cay_ref@cayuga-cc.edu.
