The Assistive Technology Room is located in Perkins room 127, on the first floor of Perkins Bostock Library.  This room is for the use of Duke students, faculty and staff needing access to accessibility software or for accessibility purposes. To request access to the room, please fill out the request form.  Once access is granted, we will place a note in your library account informing library staff to allow you check out a key to the Assistive Technology Room. Your library record is kept strictly private and the note may be removed by request, by emailing Ciara Healy at ciara.healy at duke.edu.

The Assistive Technology room is accessible via registration to those who need it primarily because of the hardware and software available in the room. Perkins 127 is the one place on campus where the assistive software is available and we would like to keep it ready and in good working order for those who need it, when they need it
