Servicios bibliotecarios accesibles para personas con discapacidad visual en la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina

Abstract

The purpose of this work, of an exploratory and descriptive nature, is to better understand the condition of some of the university libraries of the UNLP when it comes to offering services accessible to people with visual impairment. The analysis focuses on which of these services are presently available, which obstacles users come up against, and which solutions have been implemented. To such end, we look, first, into the design of the web sites of the selected libraries. Secondly, we study how such libraries integrate the visually impaired into their services and documentary products, that is to say, whether such libraries have accessible bibliographic material and services. Lastly, some proposals are outlined to overcome the present situation at the university libraries analyzed.
