Abstract
There is a growing base of literature describing the importance of improving access to digital and physical academic resources for students with print disabilities. This review aims to explore the experience of medical learners who are print disabled as it relates to improving access to digital and physical resources and removing encountered barriers in the medical library. By applying both the critical disability and self-efficacy theories to persons with print disabilities, librarians can understand learner behavior surrounding motivation, determination, and perceived challenges in using library resources and services.
