This paper discussed the information behaviour of students living
with visual impairments in university libraries. The paper was based
on review of theoretical and empirical literature especially drawn
from LIS field. The paper discussed the following themes: information
needs of students living with visual impairments in University libraries;
ways students living with visual impairments seek, access and use information;
preferred sources and formats of information for students living
with visual impairments; tools used by students living with visual impairments
to search for information; use of ICT to facilitate access to information
students living with visual impairments; challenges affecting
access to information by students living with visual impairments; and
strategies for ameliorating challenges facing students living with visual
impairments. These themes were isolated from the Oliver (1990) social
model of disability and Wilson (2000) model of information behaviour
respectively.
