University Library is a proud sponsor of Adaptive Technology with a close-knit relationship with IUPUI Adaptive Educational Services and the AES Learning Center located in UL 3135 H and N. We have 3 pieces of software available on all of our Windows PCs provided to use by the Adaptive Technology Center(ATC). 

The technology we have available in our public area for all of our patrons to use are:

• Kurzweil 3000 B/W and Color Professional 10
  • A powerful application that allows from print to text conversion and reads the content back to the user at whichever level he/she prefers
  • This application will also highlight the text (either a single word at a time or paragraph at a time)
  • User can open Rich Text Format, MS Word, PDF, and Image files inside the application
  • This is very powerful for users who wish to view electronic files located on the University Library Databases and E-Journal sections
• Sorenson Communications - Sorenson VP-200 Videophone
  • The VP-200 is usedby deaf and hard-of-hearing users who wish to communicate with another person via phone
  • It works this way:
    • The Patron signs to the interpreter
    • The Interpreter speaks to the phone user the patron is wishing to communicate with
    • The Phone user responds to the Interpreter
    • The Interpreter signs the response to the Patron.
    • The service is free and available at all hours the library is open (Library Hours).
  • This videophone is located in the 2nd Floor Reference Area and is all the way to the right as you walk in (A Librarian should be able to point you in the right directions)
  • Instructions for using the phone are listed at the desk. Click Here: to read the instructions
• We also have a Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) located in the 2nd Floor Reference Area (at the First section of tables to your right as you walk in)
  • This is a valuable magnifier for textbooks, books, and journals located in University Library
• All of our floors are wheel-chair accessible and every computer station in the 2nd Floor Reference Area is wheel-chair accessible. We have designated wheel-chair accessible stations in each of our 8 computer clusters located on Levels 3 and 4.

As our relationship with AES and ATC grows, we encourage feedback from all of our users on how we can improve our technology and space. Click Here: To leave Comments.
