AB - The purpose of this study is to describe the experience of visually impaired academic researchers’ use of scholarly contents and to explore intrinsic nature of the experience. In-depth interview was conducted with a total number of twelve visually impaired academic researchers and the data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s phenomenological research method. A total of 107 significant statements were extracted, divided into 44 themes and 12 theme clusters. The statements were then classified into four categories. The ‘scholarly contents acquisition and use’ category has to do with difficulties that these experience when negotiating with internet sites with poor web accessibility and full-text availability. The ‘changes in perception and emotions’ category deals with transitions in perception and mood experienced by visually impaired academic researchers’ over time. The ‘relationships with support personnel’ category includes issues related with the difficulty of securing support person, support person’s inadequate level of competence, and establishing/sustaining personal relationships. Finally, the ‘improvement requirements’ category includes issues that these researchers want resolved with regard to contents acquisition and use.
