Information Access in Digital Environment for People with Disabilities

A Study of NCR Region (India)

Beschreibung

In the modern information society, the awareness & demands of the users are increasing day by day, forcing the libraries to adopt & implement new technologies to provide the digital information services to the people with disabilities. Therefore, it was proposed to conduct 'A Study of Information Storage and Access in Digital Environment for the People with Disabilities in NCR Libraries' as there are no previous studies reporting on the extent to which NCR libraries & institutions holding them are able to meet the disabled users information needs & demands with the help of Library & Information Services, Assistive Technology & ICT facilities. The present study is mainly focused on the study of the access & use of electronic resources by the people with disabilities in the NCR libraries & primarily on the services and facilities (like ICT, AT etc.) available in the institutions/libraries for the access of information by the users in the digital environment. The provision of training & orientation programmes for the library users as well as staff & the Standards followed for providing the services & facilities to the people with disabilities is also examined in the study.
