|b The most important role of modern academic libraries is providing services to all types of users´ community including disabled persons. In the world there are approximately one billion people in the world live with some form of disability, according to WHO world report on disability 2014. Thus, this field, services for persons with disabilities, is open for investigation giving researchers opportunities to provide entities with accurate evaluation of their services and, if possible, effective solutions. However, many research papers explore the services presented to the disabled in private and public entities such as Ahmad et al. (2005), Blummer and Kenton (2014) and Church and Marston (2003). These services go beyond physical access. Disabled individuals’ demand of obtaining information is a human right that all states commit to protect. Thus, the researcher produces this paper which aims at exploring the availability of special materials of information that are designed for visually impaired in the University of Cairo. The study reflects the characteristics of qualitative- quantitative research described by Goodwin (1996), and Creswell (2003). In the current study the Sequential Explanatory strategy is adapted, which is characterized by gathering and analyzing the quantitative data followed by process of collecting and analyzing of qualitative data. Data collection procedures included the distribution of the benchmark questionnaire and the use of recording interviews. The study concluded that the University of Cairo library needs to promote its collections of special information materials and need to make its online catalogue, databases and website completely accessible in order to present a better quality of information services for the visually impaired and to fulfil its roles satisfactorily depending upon the individuals’ changing demands, which means that the libraries have to sustain its services and regularly update their collections.
