저시력 시각장애인의 대학도서관 접근성에 대한 인식 및 경험 탐색

Exploring Low-Vision Individuals’ Perceptions and Experiences of Academic Library Accessibility

초록

This study investigates the perceptions and experiences of low-vision individuals regarding the physical and digital accessibility of academic libraries, aiming to identify barriers and suggest improvements. In-depth interviews were conducted with eight participants. Findings show that while students valued quiet, independent spaces, they faced challenges such as low-visibility signage, poor lighting, and physical obstacles. In the digital environment, significant barriers included layout collapse during screen magnification and incompatibility with high-contrast modes and text-to-speech tools. Key recommendations include implementing user-centered feedback systems and enhancing staff training on accessibility. This study provides a foundation for policy development to foster more inclusive academic library environments.
