Molíková, Barbora ; Fonferová, Ľudmila (advisor) ; Buřilová, Marcela (referee)
This study focuses on disabled users of public libraries. First, general attitude towards physically handicapped people is analyzed on the basis of literature review. Furthermore, past surveys were utilized in order to describe attitudes demonstrated by library staff in particular as well as approach taken by the libraries in order to ease access for disabled users to library services. Analysis is complemented by overview of current projects aimed to improve accessibility of libraries including communication facilities and tools overcoming construction barriers. General principles of barrier-free access to libraries are derived from this overview. The field survey in the second part of this study evaluates accessibility of selected libraries from the point of view of disables users. The sample focused particularly on libraries which have not been reviewed yet. Particular conditions in each library classify the respective institution to the corresponding category of accessibility. Derived knowledge was published on website of Pražská organizace vozíčkářů, o.s. (Prague wheelchair association, NGO).

New Library Buildings in Europe: Documentation 2012
Svobodová, Mahulena ; Niederer, Ulrich ; Svoboda, Martin
This book brings together information about the latest, mostly academic library building projects from across Europe. New attractive buildings and huge renovation projects are presented in this tenth volume of the series established by Professor Elmar Mittler (former Director of the State and University Library Göttingen), who was the first chairman of the LIBER Architecture Group. The publication of this book coincides with the 16th LIBER Architecture Group Seminar, which takes place in Prague in April 2012. In addition to hearing about the latest developments in planning and design and offering visits to new library buildings, the Seminar provides an opportunity to debate ideas and meet colleagues from institutions across Europe. We believe that the projects in this book could help you in pursuing your own project.
