Description
Wright and Davie give an overview of service to the disabled, beginning with the definition of "disabled" and society's stereotypes. Subsequent chapters show what can be done in the library or school media center by making facilities more accessible, adapting the workplace, integrating special materials into the collection, and developing targeted programs and services. The authors conclude with a look at the impact of new formats and the electronic information age upon service to this population.
