الملخص EN

The field of information services for the visually impaired in university libraries is among the important topics that have occupied the interest of researchers and professionals in the field of libraries and information, especially after universities have adopted international and national policies for the principles of sustainable development and universal design to information in their plans and strategic goals.

The University of Toronto, Canada, is among the pioneering models for integrating people with disabilities within its goals and plans, and this is evident in the University Libraries Strategic Plan 2020-2025 entitled"Barrier-free Access to All of the Right Information" In this study, we tried to limit information services for people with visual impairment in general, and then described the experience of university libraries in Toronto through its strategic plan 2020-2025 and its website.

One of the most important findings of this study is that these libraries actually concerned with serving the visually impaired by recognizing their right to legally access information, in addition to involving them in strategic planning to form these service offerings and to help them define their information needs that they are unable to access.
