Abstract

Libraries have long been recognized as key institutions in democratizing access to knowledge and information, yet users with visual impairments still face significant barriers to accessing these resources. The purpose of this research is to explore how adaptive technologies can improve accessibility and inclusivity in libraries for users with visual impairments. Using a qualitative methodology involving in-depth interviews and content analysis of library websites, this study assessed the effectiveness of current adaptive technologies and identified barriers to their use. The results show that, although adaptive technologies such as screen readers and indoor navigation systems hold great potential to improve user experience, there are still gaps in implementation and library staff awareness of the specific needs of visually impaired users. The conclusions of this study emphasize the importance of holistic integration of adaptive technologies in library service strategies to ensure equal access. Based on these findings, this paper recommends better staff training, the development of strong inclusive policies, and collaboration with disabled people's organizations to improve the accessibility and inclusiveness of libraries, thus supporting wider social participation of visually impaired users.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of the inclusive library program on access to higher education for people with disabilities in Indonesia. The study used a quantitative method with a survey approach, involving 150 students with disabilities from ten universities. The main objective was to assess how inclusive library facilities, assistive technology, staff training, and institutional policy support contribute to increased access to education. The research findings show that while the availability of accessible facilities and assistive technology in libraries is crucial, it alone is not enough to improve access to higher education for people with disabilities significantly. Instead, comprehensive training for library staff and strong institutional policies significantly impact access to higher education, indicating that these elements are essential in creating a supportive and inclusive educational environment. These results underscore the need for a holistic approach to developing library services that meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. The study concludes that policymakers and educational institutions should prioritize these factors to foster an inclusive academic atmosphere.
