This book is about a very important goal of education and how it can be translated into practice. It concerns ways in which teachers in higher education can enable students to become more autonomous in their learning: that is, assist students to learn more effectively without the constant presence or intervention of a teacher. This is in an attempt to achieve one of the aims of education: that it should produce students who will eventually be capable of functioning independently of their teachers and their set texts. In this book, teachers in higher education from different disciplines and from different institutional settings show how to promote autonomy in learning by describing their own experiences.

Libraries have a responsibility to provide services to patrons with disabilities. This carefully designed guide responds to the need for practical, up-to-date information on how to make the library a more useful, helpful place for disabled persons. It focuses on the four types of disability that most concern librarians: Learning disabilities, blindness/visual impairment, deafness/hearing impairment, and mental retardation. It provides all the information necessary to ground the individual reader in current thinking on the topic and can also be used as the basis for conducting an in-service workshop on library services for the disabled.
