Murray, Jan Case Studies Disabilities Elementary Secondary Education Federal Legislation Foreign Countries Inclusive Schools Information Needs Information Skills Information Technology Legal Responsibility Librarian Teacher Cooperation Library Administration Library Instruction Library Policy Library Services Library Surveys School Libraries Special Education User Needs (Information) Users (Information) This paper presents the results of a four-year study conducted in primary and secondary schools from all sectors in two Australian states, Victoria and New South Wales. The study investigated the impact of inclusive schooling on the provision of library and information services to students with disabilities. Research questions were identified to direct data collection that would demonstrate the success or failure of school library managers to meet the requirements of federal disability legislation. The methodology used in the study incorporated both survey and case study. Empirical data collected by survey concentrated particularly on the current level of service provision to students with disabilities, while case study investigations also looked at management factors. The focus was on the relationship between the school library staff and the special education staff, and the effect this had on provision of school library services and the acquisition of information skills by students with disabilities. The discussion includes the level of service provision to students with disabilities, as well as the managerial approach of teacher-librarians and their awareness of appropriate resources, teaching approaches, and technology.
