Abstract

Abstract Libraries have a responsibility to be inclusive and supportive of all library users. To meet this responsibility, libraries should break down barriers that prevent library users from full participation in society. Because one in four American adults lives with a disability, the impact on their use of library services should be considered. The following six articles are quality examples of research examining the work being done by libraries as they bring the needs of library users with disabilities to the forefront.

期刊介绍： Public Services Quarterly covers a broad spectrum of public service issues in academic libraries, presenting practical strategies for implementing new initiatives and research-based insights into effective practices. The journal publishes research-based and theoretical articles as well as case studies that advance the understanding of public services, including reference and research assistance, information literacy instruction, access and delivery services, and other services to patrons. Articles may examine creative ways to use technology to assist students and faculty. Practice-based articles should be thoroughly grounded in the literature and should situate the work done in one library into the larger context of the situation.
