The study focuses on designing a digital library for the visually impaired for whom use computers as a tool for developing information literacy skills.Two traditional methods of acquiring information for the visually handicapped are phonographs and Braille. However, it would be much more effective if they are learning via computers since a half of them have computer usage skills.Web Based Instruction was on the rise as the learning methods and various resources are made as computer files nowadays. If those files are transformed into certain formats, loaded and shared on the digital libraryfor the blind, it will provide them more opportunityto access to massive information especially for students.Accordingly, in order to narrow down the digital divide between the visually impaired and healthy people, it is necessary to study continuously on the web accessibility for the visually handicappedas well as develop the effective ways of transforming the changeable electronic resources.
