Biblioteksanvändare med dyslexi och deras upplevelser av tillgängliga medier och biblioteksservice : En dokumentanalys

Sammanfattning: This thesis is about library users with dyslexia and their use of available media. Dyslexia is a disability that involves difficulties in reading and writing. To be able to read is important in this technical society for both education and work. Many adults with dyslexia often tend to avoid reading, which affect other areas in their life. Many adults do not use library resources in order to improve their reading and they might not know what the library has to offer, while young users often get the help they need through school and libraries. The focus will be on two groups of users, adults and younger users, as teenagers. This study analyses the difference between how experiences from libraries and what they can provide may differ from one group to the other and what are the differences in access to adequate resources with respect to the user’s age. The purpose of this thesis is to see how available media as talking books make persons with dyslexia to read more and better. The thesis aim is to display how they can use the libraries more and how the library can help them improve their reading and to compare the differences between teenagers and adults’ users. The study will use documents from different countries to look upon differences between countries. The focus will be on the user’s perspective. Their experience of libraries and available media, how libraries can evolve and how marketing of libraries can be possible.
