information services provided to visual impairment in two academic libraries, Santiago de Compostela and Cairo
universities libraries in order to provide academic libraries leaders and administrators with a better understanding of
visually impaired students’ demands. In more details, the study attempts to achieve the following objectives: a) to focus
light on the presence of information resources formats designed for visually impaired in both University of Cairo and
University of Santiago de Compostela libraries, b) to determine the availability of Assistive Technology techniques, c) to
discover the status of communication and interactivity among librarians and visually impaired, d) to determine the
status of information services and facilities presented to visually impaired, and e) to discover the status of librarians’

The status of information resources provided for visually impaired in Cairo University library: Learning the
employees’ voice”

The most important role of modern academic libraries is providing services to all types of users´ community including
disabled persons. In the world there are approximately one billion people in the world live with some form of disability,
according to WHO world report on disability 2014. Thus, this field, services for persons with disabilities, is open for
investigation giving researchers opportunities to provide entities with accurate evaluation of their services and, if
possible, effective solutions. However, many research papers explore the services presented to the disabled in private
and public entities such as Ahmad et al. (2005), Blummer and Kenton (2014) and Church and Marston (2003). These
services go beyond physical access. Disabled individuals' demand of obtaining information is a human right that all
states commit to protect. Thus, the researcher produces this paper which aims at exploring the availability of special
materials of information that are designed for visually impaired in the University of Cairo. The study reflects the
characteristics of qualitative-quantitative research described by Goodwin (1996), and Creswell (2003). In the current
study the Sequential Explanatory strategy is adapted, which is characterized by gathering and analyzing the
quantitative data followed by process of collecting and analyzing of qualitative data. Data collection procedures
included the distribution of the benchmark questionnaire and the use of recording interviews. The study concluded
that the University of Cairo library needs to promote its collections of special information materials and need to make
its online catalogue, databases and website completely accessible in order to present a better quality of information
services for the visually impaired and to fulfill its roles satisfactorily depending upon the individuals' changing
demands, which means that the libraries have to sustain its services and regularly update their collections.
Communication among staff and users visually impaired and using social applications in University of Santiago

The research aims at exploring the status of communication and interactivity among employees and users visually
impaired in the library of University of Santiago de Compostela. The study reflects the characteristics of qualitativequantitative research described by Dey (1993), Goodwin (1996), Patton (1990) and Creswell (2003). In the current study
the Sequential Explanatory strategy is adapted, which is characterized by gathering and analyzing the quantitative data
followed by process of collecting and analyzing of qualitative data. Data collection procedures included the distribution
of the benchmark questionnaire, derived from SERVQUAL model, and the use of interviews method. It is
recommended that employees should be trained on how to deploy social applications in their work, because little use
of social applications is explored in the study. The neglecting of social applications in providing services is a problem
that restricts the library from acclimating rapid technological changes. Moreover, the researcher recommends that
there should be training sessions to raise the employees' awareness towards challenges facing visually impaired when
they patronize the library, and to enrich their knowledge with skills on how to get these patrons engaged in the library
environment with taking into consideration the importance of marketing training session for administrators to make
them more aware of its relevancy and importance to their work.
