Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the development of modern tech- nique and technology serving persons with disabilities, and also with possibilities of their use in libraries. Some com- munication devices of the new generation designed for this category of users are described, as well as different types of electronic documents, devices and softwares for reading. The relationship between advantages of the use of informa- tion technologies in libraries and the services offered di- rectly by library personnel is also discussed. The important role of the development of mobile, small-sized hardware is emphasised, as well as accessibility of electronic informa- tion on web. These are the main prerequisites for develop- ment of virtual libraries, which symbolize potential avail- ability of information kept in libraries to everyone.
