    Contributions of libraries and information systems to special needs education
    (PREORC Open, 2023) Okonoko, Vera Ngozi; Eruvwe, Ufuoma
    Librarians are innovative information specialists who are capable of serving all students, regardless of abilities or special needs. Consideration should be made for the physically challenged students in providing information resources that would suit their information needs and also the application of an information system that would spur them to actualize their potentials. Physically challenged students should not be neglected in the provision of library services. Information resources for them should be physically present and within their reach in the libraries. Aside from the funds from the governments, alternative sources of funding should be sourced by the libraries. Lastly, a significant portion of the library budget should be earmarked to acquire the facilities that can be used by the physically challenged students. Furthermore, discrimination of this set of people should be avoided. Librarians and special needs educators should embrace them and show them love.
