Part of everyone : The Swedish academic libraries work to make their work accessiblefor neuropsychiatric disabled students. (English)
Abstract [en]

In today’s society, everyone should have the opportunity to study at university. To support this the Swedish government wants all universities to work with broadened participation. The term broadened participation was founded during the Bologna process to make sure the student populations at our universities represent the population in society at large. An important part of students' ability to complete their education is the university's library. In this study, I research what the Swedish universities offer in terms of help for students with neuropsychiatric disability. During interviews with representatives of the libraries at our largest universities, I aimed to discover what is being done to help these students and question what can be done by the libraries to improve the chances of success for neuropsychiatrically disabled students. The results from this study show certain similarities between how the universities worked, especially in regard to the use of speech synthesis and Legimus. Most university librarians felt they lacked the ability and knowledge to change the environment to be a better fit for their disabled students, and many craved a stronger interest from the people in charge.
