English abstract

The paper highlights the need of providing physical infrastructure and information services by the library to students with disabilities. The authors remarked that the design of the library should be accessible to all types of readers so that the reading materials in the library are easily accessible even to the physically challenged. Special services should be given to blind readers as the problems of blind readers are different from those of other disabled readers. Along with advancements in information the nature of library infrastructure and services needs to be changed to suit the requirements of persons with disabilities.
