The Assistive Technology Booths (ATBs) are accessible, single occupancy rooms available for use by students with disabilities, specific learning difficulties or medical condition. They provide a selection of assistive software and hardware that couldn't practically be provided on the regular Classroom Computers.

There are four available in The Sir Duncan Rice Library, two on Floor 1 and two on Floor 4. See the IT Service webpages for full details on the booths .
