Abstract

This paper is on Academic Library Provision of Services For Special Students. They are a set of people that academic libraries in Nigeria have not been providing effective services to over the years despite the equal opportunities provided for in educational services by law. This is what motivated the researchers to want to explore some of the services, information resources and Smart Assistive Technology Devices (SATD) that are essential to special needs users in Academic Libraries and the challenges facing them and also discuss possible improvements to the provision of library service in the academic community. The focus of the article is tox-rays library services to users with special needs with emphasis on: access to academic library buildings; academic library services and information resources for differently abled users. The question in the researchers’ mind is: Do Nigerian academic libraries provide adequate services for differently abled users? To answer the above question properly, the aforementioned concepts and variables were discussed in this paper and possible solutions to problems facing special needs users in academic libraries in Nigeria were suggested.

 

Keywords: Academic Library Services, Special Needs Users, Access, University, and Information Resource.
