加拿大依据其地理、历史等因素建立了庞大的图书馆服务系统,针对印本障碍群体信息需求形成了包括加拿大盲人协会(CNIB)图书馆、加拿大公平利用图书馆中心(CELA)和加拿大公平图书馆服务网络(NNELS)在内的公共图书馆服务体系。总结了服务体系中各方的特点,分析各方之间的关系,得出加拿大公共图书馆印本障碍群体服务体系是一个横向、强调特殊格式资源共建共享的体系的结论,未来体系内各方将进一步融合成免费、辐射全国、资源丰富且流通便捷的紧密服务体系。

Canada has established a huge library service system based on its geographical and historical factors,and has formed a public library service system,including Library of Canadian National Institute for the Blind(CNIB Library),Centre for Equitable Library Access(CELA),and National Network of Equitable Library Service(NNELS),in response to the information needs of the groups with print disability.The paper summarizes the characteristics of these three organizations,and analyzes the relationship between them.It is concluded that the service system for print-disabled groups in public libraries of Canada is horizontal,emphasizing the accessible format resources co-construction and sharing.The future system will further merge into a free and nation-wide one with abundant accessible format resources and convenient distribution service.
