UNCW Library at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) is committed to providing equal access to all library resources and collections for all library patrons. UNCW Library’s policy is to provide, whenever possible, arrangements that enable library patrons with disabilities to work independently. Where independent use of library services and collections are difficult, UNCW Library will make provisions, as needed, to facilitate access and use of the Library’s resources and collections. UNCW Library collaborates with UNCW's Disability Resource Center and is committed to upholding the letter and spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
