Abstract

The findings of a four year study which evaluated school library services to students with disabilities are discussed. Interviews and observation in case-study schools focussed on the relationship between school library staff and special education staff, and the effect this had on school library provision and the acquisition of information skills by disabled students. Results indicated that one of the most important factors in effective service delivery was the culture of the school. Where this facilitated good communication between the school librarian and the special education teacher, with support from the principal, the school library staff were more aware of the needs of disabled students.
