In order to think about the concept of information and to put it in relation to issues associated with users with visual impairment, a conceptual analysis is applied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 Most of information science theories are based on empiricism and rationalism; this is the reason for their low interest in the questions of visually impaired users. Users with visual disabilities are out of the interest of rationalistic epistemology because it underestimates sensory perception; empiricism is not interested in them paradoxically because it overestimates sensory perception. Realism which fairly reflects such issues is an approach which allows the providing of information to persons with visual disabilities to be dealt with properly.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 The paper has a speculative character. Its findings should be supported by empirical research in the future.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 Theoretical questions solved in the paper come from the practice of providing information to visually impaired users. Because practice has an influence on theory and vice versa, the author hopes that the findings included in the paper can serve to improve practice in the field.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Social implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 The paper provides theoretical anchoring of the issues which are related to the inclusion of people with disabilities into society and its findings have a potential to support such efforts.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 This is first study linking questions of users with visual disabilities to highly abstract issues connected to the concept of information.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jd-06-2012-0073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,16]],"date-time":"2014-11-16T08:36:06Z","timestamp":1416126966000},"page":"782-800","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The concept of information and questions of users with visual disabilities"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"70","author":[{"given":"Jir\u00ed","family":"Tom\u00e1\u0161 Stodola","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020122900462709800_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Anastasiou, D. and Kauffman, J.M.
