[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] Jeonbuk National University Central Library announced on the 5th that it has received favorable reviews for significantly enhancing facilities to guarantee the learning rights of students with disabilities.

According to Jeonbuk National University, the Central Library has been carrying out a facility improvement project for students with disabilities as part of the National University Development Project. Until recently, it increased parking spaces for people with disabilities and improved accessibility for students with disabilities by installing automatic doors and expanding entry gates.

Additionally, to enhance learning convenience for students with disabilities, electric desks were installed, and the latest computers equipped with the screen reading program "SenseReader" for visually impaired students were placed on each floor.

Dedicated scanners for document reading are also being provided. Tactile maps and guide signs for each library facility have also been improved.

Through this project, students with disabilities can conveniently use the library's subscribed academic resources via dedicated PCs installed on each floor of the Central Library.

Studying in an excellent environment has become possible through electric desks and dedicated scanners installed on the basement first floor and third floor.

Park Kyung-soo, Director of Jeonbuk National University Library, said, "Our university is promoting 'environmental improvements to support academic research activities of students with disabilities' as an innovation task and is striving to eliminate blind spots in public services."
