Case Library and Geyer Center for Information Technology invites you to join us in celebrating National Library Week, April 10th through the 16th. This year’s theme is “Create Your Own Story @ Your Library.”  Talk to a reference librarian or information technologist to hear about all the technology and resources we have to support you in creating your own story. 
 
We support the Colgate community and celebrate your right to read by providing hundreds of thousands of books, journal articles, movies, and electronic content for your education and informational needs.  Stop by the library to view the slideshow on books which have been banned, challenged or censored.
 
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April.

January is Disability Awareness Month. Are you interested in Disability Studies? The Colgate Libraries has resources to support your research, as well as to help you access our materials in a variety of formats.
 
Check out our Education resources to find out more about how disabilities affect education, and what schools, colleges, and universities across the world are doing to support students with disabilities.  You can also browse our full text collection of journals dealing with disabilities and Special Education.
 
Our history resources can help you discover information about disabilities in the past in the United States as well as the World. You can also consult with a Reference Librarian to find more materials to meet your research needs.
 
Need accessible technology, like ZoomText or Dragon Naturally Speaking? Case-Geyer has an Accessible Technology Room. Check out the website for more information. The room key can be checked out at the Circulation Desk on Level 3.
 
Unsure of what resources are available for students with disabilities? Lynn Waldman at the Office of Academic Support and Disability Services can help you!
