This chapter examines integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance library services for users with disabilities, aiming to contribute to the accessibility and inclusivity of library resources. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative user experience surveys with qualitative interviews to assess the impact of AI-driven tools—such as voice recognition, text-to-speech, and AI-powered search and recommendation systems—on the accessibility of library services for individuals with visual, auditory, and mobility impairments.
