Also studied is thesignificance of information and resources on the execution ofaccessibility adaptations at public libraries.The analysis uses Lennart Lundquist’s theory of implementation ofpublic policies, that the person executing the policy needs tounderstand, be able to and want to in order for the policy to besuccessfully executed. The study was carried out through a surveyand the thesis focuses on the factors of understanding and beingable to.The survey was sent by email to all 290 municipal libraries inSweden with an answering frequency of 65%. The results arepresented in table format with explanations.The thesis finds that a clear majority of respondents have hadaccess to information about accessibility adaptations, but thatmuch fewer consider the information clear enough. Fewer thanhalf believe that they will be able make the library fully accessible.Lack of resources is the most common reason cited. Mostrespondents have been able to make the main entrance, toilet,passage ways and at least one computer accessible.The conclusion is that much work has been done at the librariesand that there is an awareness of the accessibility issue. Howeverthere seems to be a lack of knowledge of “invisible” disabilitiesand resources are needed to make the libraries fully accessible. / Program: Bibliotekarie
