description The importance of information for social development is unquestionable. From the 20th century onwards, it became of fundamental importance for the development of post-industrial and post-modern society. In this way, the access to information is a right for everyone, including people with disabilities, who historically fight for their fundamental rights, a fight that was ratified by the United Nations in 2008, in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Since information is a right for everyone, this right also includes the person with a disability and that university libraries must take mediation actions that guarantee equal access to information by users with disabilities within the scope of the University Library System (SIBI) of the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA). With the objective of knowing the conditions of physical and informational accessibility in these libraries, aiming at the construction of the Accessible Libraries Project of SIBI/UFBA, the present research was carried out, with the application of the questionnaire “Consultation on Accessibility in SIBI/UFBA Libraries” , using the Google Forms tool, to know the conditions of physical adequacy, collections and existing equipment, and besides to obtain diagnosis of the quality of service offered in the libraries. The results revealed the precariousness of the physical and informational structure existing in most libraries, demonstrating the need to promote substantial improvements in the adequacy of spaces, supply of equipment and specific collections that allow the provision of quality service that meets the informational needs of people with disabilities at UFBA and society in general.

A importância da informação para o desenvolvimento social é indiscutível. A partir do século XX passou a ser de importância fundamental para o desenvolvimento da sociedade pós-industrial e pós-moderna. Dessa forma, o acesso a esse bem constitui direito de todos, inclusive das pessoas com deficiência, que lutam, historicamente pelos seus direitos fundamentais, luta essa ratificada pela Organização das Nações Unidas, em 2008, na Convenção dos Direitos da Pessoa com Deficiência. Sendo a informação um direito de todos, esse direito inclui também a pessoa com deficiência e que as bibliotecas universitárias devem empreender ações mediadoras que garantam o acesso igualitário à informação por parte dos usuários com deficiência no âmbito do Sistema Universitário de Bibliotecas (SIBI) da Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA). Com o objetivo de conhecer as condições de acessibilidade física e informacional nessas bibliotecas, visando a construção do Projeto Bibliotecas Acessíveis do SIBI/UFBA, realizou-se a presente pesquisa, com a aplicação do questionário “Consulta sobre Acessibilidade nas Bibliotecas do SIBI/UFBA”, utilizando a ferramenta Google Forms, para conhecer as condições de adequação física, acervos e equipamentos existentes, além de obter um diagnóstico sobre a qualidade do atendimento ofertado nas bibliotecas. Os resultados revelaram a precariedade da estrutura física e informacional existente na maioria das bibliotecas, demonstrando a necessidade de se promover melhorias substanciais na adequação de espaços, oferta de equipamentos e acervos específicos que permitam a prestação de um atendimento de qualidade que atenda às necessidades informacionais da comunidade de pessoas com deficiência na UFBA e da sociedade em geral.
