Patrons with Disabilities or Problam Patrons:

Abstract

While most treatments of library services to mentally ill patrons focus on them as problem patrons, a better model to follow for providing services on libraries is the disability model, based on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Using sources from psychological and sociological literature as well as library sources, the author presents a practical approach to the delivery of library and information services to mentally ill patrons with a measure of understanding and accommodation.
