Abstract

Draws attention to the special problems of library services for blind and print‐handicapped persons, such as the very limited range of special‐format material. Emphasizes the need for creating equality for blind and print‐handicapped persons within the library information field. Describes the many‐sided job of managing a national library service for handicapped persons, the need of a well‐established network within the library world. Particular emphasis is placed on the necessity of co‐operation with users′ organizations.
