Libraries for the Visually Impaired
Libraries for the Visually Impaired The Government of India and UGC have endorsed these guidelines. The main objective behind this is “access for all”. Libraries are an integral part of any academic institution whether at school or university level, and unless there is an easy access to it, the students won’t be able to completely reap the benefits of the educational system. The term “access” does not only pertain to physical access, but it also includes provision of aids and appliances and availability of other resources and services. This needs the development of various policies, programmes and strategies. Sensitizing people and development of right attitudes also a pre-requisite to it and the over all services need to be monitored.
