Podcasts about access services

Libraries have long been pillars of knowledge, community,and accessibility, but as the world shifts toward digital media and instant information, their role is evolving. In this episode, Reimagining Libraries, Director of Advocacy Sean McKenzie sits down with Jason Barnhardt and Malcolm Eaton from Praxis Consulting, along with Jeff Barber from the Regina Public Library, to explore the enduring value of libraries in today's society, both in larger cities and smaller communities.Both Jason and Malcolm were key players in a study SUMArecently hired Praxis Consulting to conduct into the provincial library system, and to make recommendations on what could be improved. Jeff has been the Library Director and CEO of the Regina Public Library since 2005 and has also worked within the Southeast regional library in Weyburn, been head of Access Services in the University of Saskatchewan, and is a past president of the Saskatchewan Library Association, as well as past Chair of the Canadian Urban Libraries Council.From ebooks to streaming services, technology has reshapedhow we access information, yet libraries continue to offer something irreplaceable. However, they are not without challenges. Funding remains an ongoing concern, and the demands on these institutions are increasing. What needs to change to ensure their future? This episode examines the essential services they provide, the unique structure of Saskatchewan's one-card system, and how regional collaboration ensures that resources remain available to as many people as possible. This discussion dives the pressing issues and possible solutions that could shape the next chapter of library services.

Properly managed patient identity queues are the foundation of an effective master person index that minimizes issues and facilitates streamlined care coordination.Conversely, unresolved identity queue backlogs can have costly implications for patient care, safety, and revenue integrity.

Access services in supermarkets are, for some blind and visually impaired people, an essential service to gather the exact groceries you need. Services like assisted shopping, where a member of staff takes you around the store gathering items for you, are offered by a lot of supermarkets but some were suspended during the pandemic. Auriol Britton decided to take Sainsbury's Supermarkets to court when she had a problem with her local store in Bristol, primarily based on the suspension of their assisted shopping service. We invited Auriol onto the program to outline the problem she had and what happened in court. Demand for eye services is rising rapidly and the NHS is struggling to keep up. Well, The Eyes Have It is a partnership between the Macular Society, Fight for Sight, The Royal College of Ophthalmologists and other sight loss organisations and they held a parliamentary a drop-in event at Westminster last week. They are calling for a national eye care plan to tackle the problems patients are facing. Our reporter Fern Lulham provides the details. (NB - Dr Peter Hampson is from the Association of Optometrists.) And swimming can be a great form of exercise for blind and visually impaired people but keen swimmer Aletea Sellers contacted us when she had a problem in getting access provisions put in place at her local swimming pools. She tells us the responses she got, good and bad.

One in three young children in the United States is a Dual Language Learner (DLL), and nearly half of these children have at least one parent who is Limited English Proficient (LEP). Language access policies and services are critical to promoting the equitable participation of these families in early childhood education and care (ECEC) programs, yet persisting gaps in participation for DLL children in many public ECEC programs demonstrate the need for improved language services to support this population. Amid this reality, the needs for even basic translation and interpretation for children and parents and relevant language skills among early childhood staff are often overlooked. Indeed, many early childhood services lack the necessary data and accountability measures to demonstrate equal access for DLL families, despite civil-rights requirements that they do so. In this webinar, MPI experts provide an overview of a policy brief outlining federal and state efforts to implement language access policies in the early childhood field. The conversation examines the right to language access in federally funded services and the application of this right to early childhood programs. It also focuses on the language and other barriers that immigrant and DLL families face in accessing early childhood programs despite existing language access requirements, as well as opportunities to improve language services. It also marked the release of factsheets by state.

Audio from the 2021 Charleston Library Conference from a session titled “State of The Academic Library: Library Leaders Share What Makes Institutions Thrive” presented by Elijah Scott, Executive Director, Library Services, Florida Virtual Campus; Kathleen Bauer, Director, Collections, Discovery and Access Services, Trinity College; Kate McCready, Interim AUL for Collections & Content Strategy, University of Minnesota Libraries; Alison Roth, Marketing Communications Manager, ProQuest, Part of Clarivate; and moderated by Katy Aronoff, Senior Director, Solutions Architecture, Ex Libris/ProQuest, Part of Clarivate. How does your academic library compare to your peer libraries across North America? What are the emerging trends in today's academic libraries and what are institutions doing to prepare for tomorrow?  Each year, the Academic Libraries Benchmark Survey – administered by Library Journal and commissioned by Ex Libris – asks academic libraries about the core foundations of what makes an academic library thrive. This survey is well-known for measuring the academic library's needs, challenges, its place in the university ecosystem, and what next steps are most important to help it flourish. With all the changes in higher education over the past year, this data has become more essential than ever. The 2021 survey results are shared with us in this lively panel discussion. Leaders in the library community will provide their reactions to the results of this valuable research.

Meet the newest manager at the library, Lucas McKeever! Organization of the Month: Hope for the Day.

Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated Friday on a street in western Japan by a gunman who opened fire on him from behind as he delivered a campaign speech — an attack that stunned a nation with some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere. President Joe Biden on Friday condemned the “extreme” Supreme Court majority that ended a constitutional right to abortion and delivered an impassioned plea for Americans upset by the decision to “vote, vote, vote vote” in November. Under mounting pressure from fellow Democrats to be more forceful in response to the ruling, he signed an executive order to try to protect access to the procedure. Mourners on Friday remembered a woman who worked tirelessly at her synagogue and a gentle man who loved art in the first formal services to be held for the seven people killed by the gunman who opened fire on a July Fourth parade. Wisconsin's conservative-controlled Supreme Court ruled Friday that absentee ballot drop boxes may be placed only in election offices and that no one other than the voter can return a ballot in person, dealing a defeat to Democrats who said the decision would make it harder to vote in the battleground state. -The Associated PressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How to access services

Christiaan Blake is responsible for the business of offering paratransit services that balance accommodation and sustainability. Christiaan needs to serve the most people he can with paratransit, while also creating accessible fixed-route transit that is open to all. One of the tricks up Christiaan's sleeve is his innovative rider's choice program where, if paratransit riders opt into using a taxi or service like Uber for their ride, their ride could be randomly chosen to be free. Armed with an array of spreadsheets, Christiaan has gone to great pains to make sure the process is fair and random, This has proven to be very popular--so popular people clamor for more free rides--and lets Christiaan accommodate last-minute trips, staying longer, or leaving earlier than planned. This is a big job and Christiaan takes his role and place in transit seriously. He sees paratransit as a crucial safety net for people who can't be served with even WMATA's accessible fixed-route and subway system. Also on the show, we have the latest transit news, Elea Carey talks about sharing employee stories and Mike Bismeyer challenges us to do something good in the cities we visit while traveling for work. All this on this week's Transit Unplugged News and Views. Sit back and listen in.

At OSU, we believe student success is about supporting the whole student, with a number of support offices across campus to do just that. One of these many offices, Disability Access Services (DAS), provides accommodation and support for students who identify as having a disability while at OSU. Join Cori and Delta as they chat with Earlee Kerekes-Mishra, Assistant Director of DAS, to learn more about this office and how to get the help you need at OSU.

Each month, we untangle your most vexing transportation challenges, and this month's conversation was an exciting one for any blind/low vision parent or guardian of children who need to be dropped off or noticed your way to or from work or somewhere else. Mike Greenwood is the Chief Operating Officer for Access Services in Los Angeles, CA, and late last year, Access Services launched a pilot program which allows parents with disabilities to make interim childcare stops while using paratransit as well as a limited number of same-day trips in the event of an urgent childcare need. Mike joined us to discuss the program currently operating in L.A., which could serve as an example for other paratransit systems to adopt in the future. Sponsored by Accessible Avenue

I've invited two guests to share the See Me at the Smithsonian initiative - Robin Lynne Marquis, Community Outreach Coordinator for Access Smithsonian and the See Me Program; and Amy Castine, is Lead Educator for these programs. Join us for another age-friendly discussion on making life easier, happier, safer, and meaningful for older adults. Part One of 'See Me at the Smithsonian'. Access Smithsonian: What Is It All About? The Smithsonian, founded in 1991, is the central office for all of the 19 museums, National Zoo, and research centers for the Smithsonian units. On the internal museum-facing side, they advise museums on policies, practices, and procedures for the staff, including training and advising the exhibition teams on inclusive design.  Externally, they provide the best experience for visitors with disabilities. They also host internships for students with intellectual disabilities and engage with communities in the local area and nationwide to join or visit museums and meet their needs. Mission  Access Smithsonian is a catalyst for a consistent, integrated, and inclusive design that provides meaningful access to the Smithsonian Institution Museums and content for visitors with disabilities. Vision To be recognized for excellence as an Institutional and international resource for inclusive museum facilities, programs, and services. People with disabilities who visit will view the Smithsonian Institution as relevant, accessible, and valuable. Responsibilities Policy, Practices, and Procedures  Training and Education  Programming  Community Engagement  Inclusive Design  Access Services  Internships   “Morning at the Museum is a sensory-friendly program for families with children and adults with autism spectrum.” -Robin Lynne Marquis, Community Outreach Coordinator Inclusive Programs    Morning at the Museum   Morning at the Museum is a free, sensory-friendly service for families of children, teens, and young adults who have developmental disabilities, autism, sensory processing problems, or other cognitive deficiencies.   Project SEARCH Smithsonian Institution   Project SEARCH Smithsonian Institution is a ten-month internship program that encourages young adults with intellectual and cognitive disabilities to learn employable and marketable career skills.    User Expert Advisory Group   The User Expert Advisory Group of the Smithsonian Institution is a partnership between Access Smithsonian and the Institute for Human-Centered Design. User Experts are Persons with disabilities who have gained skills from their lived experience of coping with environmental issues attributable to a bodily, sensory, or cognitive functional disability.  At Smithsonian Institution museums, user experts assess the usability and functionality of physical spaces, museum exhibitions, public facilities, technology, and facilities. Besides, user experts educate Smithsonian employees, interns, and volunteers on inclusion, diversity, and usability.   See Me at the Smithsonian   See Me at the Smithsonian is a hands-on program for dementia patients and their caregivers. Pre-registered members (8-10 persons) discover some of the Smithsonian's most precious artifacts through small group interactions and multi-sensory exercises on scheduled weekdays.  See Me provides intellectual stimulation, socialization experiences, and the opportunity for loved ones to share quality time in a comfortable atmosphere.  Since May 2020, to adapt amid COVID, the program has been thoroughly transitioning to virtual See Me programs. Five museums have hosted virtual programs through Zoom to date  and intend to do so in the future.    National Portrait Gallery Smithsonian American Art Museum National Museum of Asian Art: Freer and Sackler National Museum of African American History and Culture National Museum of American History   Programs are conducted from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. On request, virtual programming for wider audiences in neighborhood locations is possible. “If you’re older and frail, you don't have much energy even physically and cognitively; going virtual does eliminate a lot of these hurdles.” Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP-BC, FGSA, FAAN You can check on this website link: https://access.si.edu/program/see-me-smithsonian to learn more about the See Me at the Smithsonian Program. Part Two of 'See Me at the Smithsonian'. More About See Me at The Smithsonian The History of the Program  See me at the Smithsonian was an idea that began in 2016. An advisory committee was formed at that time, and folks who are experts in the field or have contact with people living with dementia formulated best practices and the ideas of how they wanted it to go forward.  Staff training began in September 2017, and the goal was to establish the accommodations and responsibilities as a museum and people working with the elder and disabled population. They had their pilot program with the National Portrait Gallery in October 2017, and from then on, it's been onward and upward. What The See Me at the Smithsonian Program is Today? The See Me at the Smithsonian program was able to expand to include the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Museum of African Art, and the National Museum of Asian Art: Freer and Sackler. From there, they start providing programming in a range of different subject matter areas so that folks can choose what is most interesting to them.  In the last two years, even before COVID happened, the brains behind the program recognized the need to expand the relationships to working within the community. These communities include senior residences, senior centers, villages, any social space where older adults are coming together and letting these folks know that they have a program for them. The goal is to prevent people from absent-mindedly wandering into a museum and letting them know that they could come to the free program.  Shifting to the Virtual Space   Due to the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Smithsonian's New York Regional Council, they're able to continue to expand even as they move into the virtual space through COVID. It's a meaningful, joyful experience for the organization to offer a better and broader range of topics for older adults and their caregivers to enjoy.  Since COVID, they've been offering programs to older adults within their actual residences or through their networks because they know that some of the most isolated people right now are in these places.  See Me en Español Launched in March    In March of this year, they started the program in Spanish—that's been a big dream of the organization for many years now. Carmen Pastore, the lead educator, leads the team, and they're now providing the program in Spanish.  “There's an intellectual and creative stimulation that comes with the See Me at the Smithsonian program.” -Amy Castine, Lead Educator  What Will You Experience at The See Me at the Smithsonian Program? The experience was much like what anyone would experience when they came into a museum where they would meet at a central location and then move toward art pieces. The most significant difference for older adults is that we're slowing down and looking at fewer objects. Below are some of the examples of the activities you’ll experience at the See Me at the Smithsonian Program.   Close Looking   "A typical tour would be 8-10 objects in an hour. But for our older adults, we recognize that processing times are different, and the ability to move from one place to another is a little different.  We want to make sure that the program meets their needs exactly as they are. We would look at two or maybe three objects in the gallery and spend our time doing "close looking."  Instead of just glancing at an object, we would sit and take a deep breath and relax for a moment and spend a minute just looking, without speaking, without any interpretation, and then move to ask, "What do you see in the object?", "What is the mood of this piece?, What is it bringing up for you?" These are meaning-making that we participate in when we look at the objects," says Lead Educator Amy Castine.     Collaboration with Arts for the Aging   The organization also partnered with Arts for the Aging, a local Washington, D.C. organization. One of the things that they add to the programing is participating with artists; they may be visual artists, musicians, poets, or storytellers.  In the process of looking at an artwork, say, looking at a screen at Asian Art of the Tales of Genji, a storyteller will tell a little story that's not just about the object itself but take the ideas that the participants generate and weave those into a tale of their own. If you're interested in reaching out to Arts for the Aging, you can connect with them at: Arts for the Aging Twitter: @artsfortheaging or  Arts for the Aging Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ArtsfortheAging/   Hands-on Creative Stimulation Activities   One instance shared by Amy Castine is looking at the Big Egg at the National Museum of African-American History and Culture. Working with a teaching artist, the materials that older adults and their caregivers happen to have on hand, whether that's wrapping paper or tissue paper or pens of different colors, highlighters, are used to create their big egg. So there's intellectual stimulation that comes with this, but there's also creative stimulation.
