Access Provision for Students with Reading Disabilities (SRDs) in Nigerian University Libraries.

This paper examines the accessibility options for SRDs in university libraries in Nigeria. Access to the library's information resources is a benchmark for effectively utilizing information resources and services and fulfilling information demands for the educational growth of people within a community. Students that struggle with reading and it affect their capacity to learn are students with reading disabilities. University libraries should support and encourage scholarly work and research in all areas of human endeavor, regardless of ability or disability. As a result, this paper explores the idea of students with reading disabilities (SRDs), their traits, and the responsibility of university libraries in Nigeria in supporting SRDs. The article looks at the discrepancies between accessible and necessary information sources and the difficulties Nigerian university libraries experience in bridging such gaps and presents pertinent suggestions for improving access to SRDs. • The paper examined the provision of access for students with reading disabilities (SRDs) in Nigerian university libraries. • The study adopted a conceptual approach. • The takeaways are its emphasis on the critical role university libraries should play in improving information access and availability for SRDs. • The article examined the discrepancies between accessible and necessary information sources and the difficulties Nigerian university libraries experience in bridging such gaps. • The study recommended the repackaging and recreating university library information resources, facilities, and services to improve access to SRDs.
