Welcome! This guide provides information on accessing and using the adaptive technology available in the Adaptive Technology Centre (ATC), Queen's University Library. The ATC is located on the main level of Stauffer Library, room 120 and contains an Adaptive Technology Lab with assistive devices, computer hardware, and specialized software that enable students with disabilities to research, write and study more effectively.
To obtain access to the Adaptive Technology Lab, students must first be registered at the Queen's Student Accessibility Office, Mitchell Hall, Union Street. The lab is for the exclusive use of students with disabilities and their assistants.

All computers are networked to the Stauffer Library ATC Public Colour Printer located within the Adaptive Technology Lab.
