Abstract(in English) "The guideline for eliminating disability discrimination on libraries" was furnished by Japan Library Association in 2016. It was told that an accessible database should be supplied as one of the offering methods of library materials for the people with disabilities. Thus, in this work, we survey for clarifying of published situation about library materials for the people with disabilities on the web pages of public libraries, and discuss the current results. It is 32.5% that the ratio of the item of "published materials" category was published at least one on the websites of public libraries. And, it's 18.2% in the case of "search items" category. Namely, it was found from the result that anyone even could not judge the existence of library materials for the people with disabilities on more than 65% of the web pages of public libraries. According to the MEXT report(2016), it was 82.2% that the ratio of the item of "book printed by large-sized type and magnifiable manuscript" on the holding situations of library materials for the people with disabilities of public libraries. The item and "magnifiable book" in this work are the same. But, the result indicates that the published ratio of web pages is only 11.1%. The ratio is calculated if the item of "magnifiable book" in this work is published on one of four categories. This same trend applies to the other items. From now on, we hope that (1)the published ratio on the websites will increase, and (2)anyone become to know the existence of library materials for the people with disabilities in public libraries.
