An Evaluation of the American Models of Public Library Service for Disabled Users for Poland

Engellilere yönelik hizmetler, halk kütüphanesi faaliyetlerinin çok önemli bir parçasıdır. ABD, Kanada ve İskandinav ülkelerinde bu kullanıcı grubuna yönelik halk kütüphanesi hizmeti sunmak büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, halk kütüphanelerinde verilmekte olan kütüphane hizmetlerine yönelik üç Amerikan modeli tartışılmaktadır. Bunlar; dışarıya sağlanan kütüphane hizmetleri, başka bir ifade ile dış erişim programı; özel eğitim merkezlerine yönelik hizmetler ve kütüphaneyi kullanan okuyuculara verilen standart hizmetlerin kütüphane içinde aynı koşullarda engellilere sağlanmasını içeren tümleşik hizmetlerdir. Çalışmada ayrıca, Sovyetler Birliği’nin parçalanması ile birlikte özgürlüğüne kavuşan Polonya’nın, yıllarca geri kalmışlığın etkilerini en aza indirerek, halk kütüphane sistemine bu modellerin uygulanması ve bu uygulamaların nasıl yapılacağından bahsedilmektedir

An Evaluation of the American Models of Public Library Service for Disabled Users for Poland

Theservice of disabled people is an extremely important segment of public libraries activity. In the United States, Canada and Scandinavian countries a great importance is attached to expanding library offer by adding services aimed to this category of users. In this work three American models of library service in public libraries are discussed. The models are: delivering library services out­side a library, in other words, an outreach program, rendering services in spe­cial needs centers and integrated service, which is provided in the same place and in the same way as for the remaining members of the community it is also calledmainstreaming . Next, the models are compared with actions taken in this fieldin Polish libraries, which after many years of isolation from the latest trends currently are trying to overtake backlogs
