The provision of resources and services for the differently abled users in higher
education libraries has been a challenge worldwide. In some parts of the world,
libraries have made impressive progress and have continued to adopt new modalities
to addressing this matter while in other parts the picture remains lamentable to the
extent where such endeavours are non-existent despite the call to inclusive services
that has been sounding for decades in all human activities. Drawing from literature
in library and information services (LIS), this chapter seeks to outline resources
and services for persons with disabilities that can be used as a standard for higher
education libraries.
