This study aims to propose the implementation of resources in the use of assistive
technology (AT) in order to make the products and services offered by university libraries
more accessible and inclusive to people with disabilities. In the sections, an approach to the
university library was presented within the context of assistive technology. Next, a
comment was made on the relationship between the university library and digital culture
and the training of teachers and librarians in the 21st century. Thus, the research began,
from the mapping of existing products and services in university libraries and,
consequently, the execution of the process of identification of inclusive practices for the
use of assistive technology. It was investigated how assistive technology can help the work
of the librarian. In this perspective, it was about the insertion of actions in the planning for
the application of adequate treatments. For this study, a bibliographic research was used, in
a qualitative approach, about the accessibility of resources for the use of AT in the
reference service of personalized care for PwD. Based on the results, an intensification of
continuing education was proposed for work groups, as well as for users with disabilities
on adaptive resources; and, the creation of an accessibility policy for the use of assistive
technologies within the scope of university libraries. The evaluation of these results
became possible from the collaboration (via the online form) of librarians from the
libraries of the following federal public institutions: UFAM, UNIFESP, UFF, UFFS,
UFMA, UFC, UFSC and UFPE
