A inclusão e o acesso à informação para alunos com deficiência visual : as tecnologias assistivas na Biblioteca Central da Universidade Federal de Sergipe

Abstract

In response to updates in laws regarding social inclusion and accessibility, this academic work aims to identify how access to information and existing assistive technologies is provided in the space of the Central Library at the Federal University of Sergipe for students with visual impairments, with the intention of verifying the provision of educational materials and their usage. To achieve this, a descriptive research was conducted, including bibliographic review and interviews with the staff of the accessibility space using a script for data collection. The results indicate that the space is still underutilized by students, deserving greater publicity. The Marrakesh Treaty, aimed at removing informational barriers and providing access to written text for people with visual impairments, has not been implemented.
