AB - This study investigates strategies to enhance the digital literacy competencies of librarians to improve digital literacy for individuals with disabilities. As digital transformation progresses, the digital divide remains a significant issue, particularly for people with disabilities. Libraries and librarians play a crucial role in bridging this gap by providing digital literacy education and services. This research involved a comprehensive review of existing literature, surveys, and in-depth interviews with librarians responsible for disability services. The findings indicate that while librarians recognize the importance of digital literacy for individuals with disabilities, they lack practical experience and targeted training. To address this, the study proposes systematic and continuous educational programs focused on digital literacy skills and understanding disabilities. The proposed strategies aim to reinforce the role of librarians as key providers of digital information and educators, thus promoting digital inclusion and enhancing social participation for individuals with disabilities. This research contributes to the field by providing actionable insights and recommendations for improving librarian competencies and library services for the disabled community.
