Download or read book Libraries for the Blind in the Information Age written by International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, The Hague (Netherlands). and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visually impaired people have the same information needs as sighted people. Just as sighted people might read a newspaper, listen to a CD or download electronic information from the Internet, visually impaired people also want access to relevant information in their chosen accessible format. Developing an efficient library service for print-disabled people is extremely important, because there are significantly fewer books available commercially in accessible formats compared to what is published in print for the general public. The need to build collections in alternative formats and make them available for readers who are unable to browse shelves makes it necessary to develop special services. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide libraries, governments, and other stakeholders with a framework for developing library services for people who are print disabled. Where appropriate the guidelines are supported by examples from many countries around the world. For purposes of these guidelines, print disabled will be used to describe those who are unable to read print due to blindness, low vision, a learning disability, or a physical disability. Following the preface, the 10 chapters contained herein are: (1) Introduction; (2) History; (3) The Framework for Service; (4) Customer Care: Meeting User Needs; (5) Cooperation and Networking; (6) Collection Development; (7) Access to Service and Collections; (8) Production of Alternative Formats; (9) Management and Marketing; and (10) Quality Assurance. Appended are: (1) IFLA Declaration of Fundamental Right to Access and Express Information; and (2) Guidelines for Library Service to Braille Users. This volume also includes a glossary.

This book was released on 2011-07-31 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public venues are vital to information access across the globe, yet few formal studies exist of the complex ways people in developing countries use information technologies in public access places.Libraries, Telecentres, Cybercafes and Public Access to ICT: International Comparisons presents groundbreaking research on the new challenges and opportunities faced by public libraries, community telecentres, and cybercafés that offer public access to computers and other information and communication technologies.

With examples and experiences from around the world, this book sheds light on a surprising and understudied facet of the digital revolution at a time when effective digital inclusion strategies are needed more than ever.
Download or read book Enhancing Access to Complex and Spatial Information for Blind Users of Mobile Devices written by Yu Zhong and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For people with visual impairments, accessing visual information in mobile settings can be difficult and sometimes frustrating. They often need to depend on assistance from family or strangers, and thus limit their exposure to unfamiliar settings so they can avoid inaccessible information. While there are many mobile applications dedicated to providing improved access of visual information for visually impaired users, there is still a long way to go towards providing an ideal user experience. This thesis focuses on enhancing visual information retrieval and interpretation for blind people with two sets of technologies. The first is computer vision, which provides us numerous algorithms to process images and videos in order to efficiently extract visual information of blind users' surrounding environment, and sometimes fulfill their needs promptly or even in real time. The second is crowdsourcing, also known as human computation. Crowdsourcing has been shown to be an effective means to solve problems that automated approaches cannot yet handle. With carefully designed infrastructure, leveraging large groups of online workers can yield accurate and fast responses to blind users' various visual information requests. This dissertation surveyed existing algorithms and applications of both computer vision and crowdsourcing and identified challenges visually impaired users face from questions they submitted to our services, then carefully designed frameworks to fit components from both categories together into several assistive mobile applications for blind people.
