Accessibility Issues
Accessibility issues can indeed arise when exploring different formats and types of sources. Availability of print materials may vary from library to library. However, patrons can usually request items through Interlibrary loan or other reciprocal borrowing services. Some materials may only be accessible in-person due to historical value.
There may be limitations for users when accessing databases and subscription services. Not every information seeker will always have the same equitable access to such services. Thankfully, the Indiana State Library offers all Indiana residents free access to many resources through its websites and INSPIRE, which is comprised of many useful databases that one could use in his or her research. Colleges and universities also provide students, faculty, and staff with an abundance of research tools, databases, and assistance.
Also, the majority of the audio, video, and interactive sources within this pathfinder are available and easily accessible online.
