AbstractTo a large extent, disability is a social construct. Whether individuals with "disabilities" can pursue independent and fulfilling lives is not so much a matter of their particular internal conditions as a question of enabling or disabling external factors put in place by society. This special theme issue aims to bridge the current information gap concerning the accessibility of the various electronic resources that make up today's online library environment.
