Πρόσβαση σε βιβλιοθήκες από άτομα με αναπηρίες - ΚΑΤΑΛΟΓΟΣ ΕΝΕΡΓΕΙΩΝ

In many countries all over the world, access for patrons with disabilities to use libraries is not yet available or even expected. In order to provide equal opportunities for all library users, it is necessary to look with the eyes of these patron groups at the physical condition of library buildings, as well as library services and programs. This checklist – developed by the IFLA Standing Committee of Libraries Serving Disadvantaged Persons (LSDP) – is designed as a practical tool for all types of libraries (public, academic, school, special) to 1) assess existing levels of accessibility to buildings, services, materials and programs and to 2) enhance accessibility where needed. Accessibility needs of library staff are beyond the scope of this document.

当前全球诸多国家中，残障读者（patrons with disabilities）使用图书馆的权限仍未落实，甚至未被视作应达成的服务目标。为给所有图书馆用户提供平等的使用机会，我们有必要以残障读者群体的视角，审视图书馆建筑的实体环境、馆内服务与活动项目的无障碍情况。本核查清单由国际图书馆协会联合会（International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, IFLA）弱势人群图书馆服务常设委员会（LSDP）制定，旨在作为一款实用工具，面向各类图书馆（公共图书馆、学术图书馆、学校图书馆、专门图书馆）实现两大目标：1）评估建筑、服务、馆藏资料与活动项目的现有无障碍水平；2）按需提升无障碍程度。本文件的适用范围不涵盖图书馆工作人员的无障碍需求。
