INCLUSION AND ACCESSIBILITY: A CASE STUDY IN THE IFAC LIBRARY - RIO BRANCO CAMPUS

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the accessibility and inclusion conditions for users with disabilities in the IFAC Library. Therefore, the investigation allowed us to identify the barriers and adaptations that benefit the users of this space. The research procedures are bibliographic, observation, field research and content analysis. Thus, after observing the entire space, together with the literature review, we dedicated ourselves to analyzing the production of data based on the legal criteria that guide an inclusive and accessible library space. The data interpretation and analysis techniques are based on Bardin's Content Analysis (2011). The results obtained indicate a need for adaptation in some aspects of accessibility for users with disabilities. This research enabled future reflections on improvements both in the physical and architectural space and in communication and access to information.
