This study examines the effectiveness of a Virtual Reality application, Virtual Reality for Impaired Students in Library Services (VR-ISLS), designed to reduce library anxiety and enhance the acquisition of knowledge about library services for visually impaired students at a university in Thailand. Using a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, the study integrates both quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate the application's impact. The findings indicate that VR-ISLS significantly increased students' knowledge of library services and reduced library anxiety, particularly by improving familiarity with library resources. However, challenges remain regarding interactions with library staff and overcoming emotional barriers. Recommendations for improvement include customizable features such as audio cues, adjustable text sizes, enhanced contrast settings, and customizable audio speeds. This study highlights the potential of using VR technology to create inclusive, accessible learning environments and offers practical insights into utilizing assistive technologies to reduce barriers for visually impaired students.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47618,"journal":{"name":"Library & Information Science Research","volume":"47 2","pages":"Article 101357"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144071094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A challenge within prison librarianship involves closing the gap between international standards and policies, and the state of provision on the ground. By providing a detailed description of the review methodology, other researchers, policy makers, and practitioners can learn from the experiences and approach taken by this research team.

Findings reveal that although a sudden shift from physical to virtual methods may not occur again, pandemic period research resulted in innovations related to accessibility and inclusivity using existing technologies.

In the early stage, the direct positive effect of service quality on perceived usefulness was stronger than that of information quality.

To analyze the collected user comments (answers) quantitatively, various techniques including word frequency analysis, semantic network analysis, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling, and sentiment analysis were used. Findings revealed that factors influencing user experience can be categorized into six main groups: university life and future planning, choice and efficiency of study spaces, library resource management and staff behavior, seat usage behavior, noise issues, and the behavior of other users. Sentiment analysis revealed a mix of emotions in user experience. Positive experiences stemmed from quality learning environments and personal development support, while negative experiences were primarily caused by noise, seat scarcity, management issues, and other users' behavior. These varied emotional responses and suggested targeted improvements were explored.
