摘要

摘要本研究的目的是评估印度阿里加尔穆斯林大学图书馆为残疾用户提供服务的便利性和可及性。该研究采用了定量和定性的方法,通过问卷调查、访谈和备注,应用IFLA检查表对场景进行调查。研究表明,AMU有一个专门为残疾用户建造的图书馆;然而,没有拨出额外资金用于开发无障碍形式的图书馆设施、辅助技术和藏品,这导致向残疾用户提供的服务不足。尽管提供了一些专门服务,但研究发现,残疾用户在使用图书馆服务时面临许多障碍,原因是无法获得方便格式的图书馆材料,缺乏受过培训的图书馆工作人员的帮助,以及对用户缺乏充分培训。本文件最后提出了执行国际图书馆联和教科文组织关于残疾人获得图书馆服务的指导方针的建议。

Access to library facilities and services for users with disabilities: a study of Aligarh Muslim University in India
Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the convenience and accessibility of library services to users with disabilities at Aligarh Muslim University in India. The study utilized both quantitative and qualitative methods through questionnaires, interview and remarks applying the IFLA checklist to investigate the scenario. The study established that AMU has a purpose-built library to accommodate users with disabilities; however, additional funds were not allocated for developing library facilities, assistive technologies and collections in the accessible formats that lead to the delivery of inadequate services to users with disabilities. Despite the availability of some specialized services, the study found that users with disabilities face numerous obstacles when using library services due to unavailability of library materials in convenient formats, lack of assistance from the trained library staff and lack of adequate training to users. The paper concludes with the recommendations to implementing guidelines of IFLA and UNESCO regarding access to library services for users with disabilities.
