Library services and aids for people with dyslexia : A qualitative study (English)
Abstract [en]

Public libraries belong to the so-called public library system and must ensure that people with functional variations have access to literature in various formats but also technical solutions that enable the person to assimilate the literature (SFS, 2013: 801). What opportunities do public libraries have to keep up with the development of technology for people with reading disabilities? The technological development has in recent years gone very fast and the public libraries financial resources has not increased in the same way as the technology development instead has the financial resource decreased (Hansson and Linder, 2019). 

The purpose of the study is to gain an increased understanding of inclusive activities within library activities for people with reading and writing difficulties. The question: What services and aids do public libraries offer on their websites for people with reading disabilities? 

The study is a qualitative content analysis and an empirical inductive approach and where the collected material forms a pattern which in turn can be divided into categories (Patel and Davidson, 2011). 

The results show that there is a big difference between the aids that public libraries advertise on their websites. Most of the public libraries advertise on their websites that they have E-books, E-textbooks and Daisy-books. There are some public libraries who advertise having several formats of books, for example cd-books, tactile books and braille-books.
