مكانة المعلومات و خدمات المكتبات في القوانين الخاصة بالأشخاص ذوي الإعاقة : دراسة مقارنة بين قوانين الولايات الأمريكية المتحدة و الجزائر

Abstract EN

This study aims to compare between the national laws of persons with disabilities in the United States and Algeria, as well as the extent to which they contain legal articles that facilitate access to libraries and information services for this category, either the traditional or electronic environment.

Among the most important findings in this study, is that these laws contain various articles and recommendations that can be applied to libraries and their services in the traditional and electronic environment, and that the two countries are also both involved in the ratification of the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which can be invested in addressing the gaps that exist in the said laws, especially with the availability of practical mechanisms to follow up their implementation at the national and international levels.
