Marywood University (PA; USA) recently received an Assistive Technology grant. A goal, as articulated by a conference theme, is to provide access to electronic materials to individuals with disabilities. We have spent a year in enhancing existing and establishing new sites where students and faculty can gain access to such assistive technology tools and, thus, information. The tasks ranged from installing PCs equipped with assistive technology software throughout the campus to modifying a Curriculum Lab and classroom used by student teachers. The objective has been to make assistive technology tools available to all university members and to make the universal access to information an integral part of the university's fabric. We also adopted a systems approach. As such, this practice has provided us with a tightly knit production/educational team that cuts across the university and enables us to tap the expertise of individuals who work in multiple departments. More important, since all the key players are fully apprised about important developments and their complementary responsibilities, we are all working toward the same rather than different and possibly divisive goals. This broad-based approach has also helped ensure that the grant affects the entire university rather than one or two isolated pockets. A systems approach has also encompassed integrating another grant in this operation, developing training materials (print and electronic-based) and other such action steps. Paper Synopsis: The paper/presentation will, therefore, explore three themes. First, background information will be provided about the grant and its goal to provide access to electronic materials to individuals with disabilities. Second, the paper/presentation will focus on how Marywood implemented the grant's objectives through a systems approach. Third, it will cover the benefits afforded by a systems approach, particularly for smaller educational institutions. It is also hoped that our experiences may serve, in a sense, as a model for other institutions that are exploring similar paths.
