Abstract

Elizabeth García, visually impaired Master's student and, discusses with Natalia García Caballos, a University of Granada librarian, to they share their personal experience in the field of university libraries. Based on their shared experiences, they will explore the expectations, needs, and realities of people with visual disabilities in today's university libraries, their challenges and proposals. Additionally, they will analyse the impact of architecture, collection, service quality, and staff training related to accessibility. They will emphasize the need for academic libraries to effectively adapt to ensure inclusion and equitable access for all users, regardless of their abilities. The speakers will highlight the importance of having accessible, inclusive, and person-centered university libraries where human rights are respected, independence is promoted, and that constitute safe spaces for students.

Abstract

The objective of this work was to propose a theoretical model of pervasive information architecture, focused on the use of recommendation systems to increase the findability of information in university libraries. This research was developed from a multidisciplinary perspective and it is defined as exploratory research since a bibliographic review is carried out. This review allows obtaining information on the theoretical elements necessary to establish the central base of the research. It is also descriptive, as it seeks to bring solutions to issues that arise in the daily life of university libraries. As a result, a model of pervasive information architecture for university libraries is presented with a focus on improving information findability from the inclusion of recommendation systems. It can be concluded that, due to the wide advance in the development of applications and tools for use in libraries, a notable increase in the level of complexity of the information environments of these institutions is perceived, which from the perspective of information architecture creates the need for more refined research projects, whose aim is to improve the information environments of university libraries, always with the main objective of favoring the experiences of users, and helping them in the processes of finding relevant information, at the precise time and with the highest possible quality.

Abstract

This paper evaluates shelf availability of monograph titles requested at a university library. The evaluation has been carried out by an external group. Goals, steps and evaluation criteria, as well as evaluation design and implementation are described in detail. The research has used two different techniques: simulation (with two variants) and users' interviews, according to ISO 11620, B2.2.2 indicator «Required Titles Availability» (ISO 11600 Standard). Survey results are analyzed and compared. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
